CFBS Equality & Diversity Working Group - Statement of Principles by https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r Statement of principles, a set of assessable and measurable equality objectives, how we will track success and associated actions en-us 2022-02-08 16:16:23 UTC 2022-02-19 20:10:14 UTC hello@padlet.com "The school will continue to support all its students to exceptional educational attainment. The school will work to narrow the educational attainment gap between different socio-economic groups and ethnic groups.” herculinebarbin https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2035892826 2022-02-08 16:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2035892826 The existing equality objective focuses on an extremely important aspect of the topic, educational attainment. We might consider broadening it to capture other key aspects of the CFBS experience. For example, it might make sense to include something on our broader values and our focus on developing the school culture to promote equality and diversity. https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054964771 2022-02-18 09:53:23 UTC https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054964771 EDI should be embedded in everything that the school does. It should be part of what CFBS "is". This should include respect for every individual regardless of their ethnicity, gender, religion, position in the school. A focus on courtesy and kindness is a critical part of this. https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054968806 2022-02-18 09:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054968806 Carefully crafted surveys of key stakeholders (students, parents, staff) are an important gauge of how groups feel about EDI and will, over time, hopefully show positive "scores". A reduction in the number of incidents of discriminatory language being used. A reduction in the gap in educational attainment between different socio-economic groups and ethnic groups. https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054978633 2022-02-18 10:05:37 UTC https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054978633 This is very similar to the previous question. It is always hard to measure cultural success, but the use of stakeholder surveys is helpful. It is also important that the school's stats have an EDI lens, as many of them already do. For example, understanding how attendance stats are different across different socio-economic and ethnic groups is useful data. https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054983391 2022-02-18 10:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/herculinebarbin/6kfpowjogmi26j5r/wish/2054983391
