The Grenfell Curriculum project
The Grenfell Curriculum Project is a collaboration between the Grenfell community and education researchers which was started to ensure that the legacy of the Grenfell Tower fire is carried forward through meaningful, justice-centred education.
Its purpose is to support schools in teaching about Grenfell with accuracy, sensitivity, and respect, while empowering young people to understand the social, ethical, and structural issues the disaster exposed.
In July 2025, we published Teaching about Grenfell: Recommendations from the community, a landmark report developed through two years of community-engaged research with bereaved families, survivors, young people, and local educators. This work established a shared framework for what teaching about Grenfell should include and why it matters.
