Tackling Race Inequality in Education
On 16 July 2024 St Saviours RC Primary School committed to sign the Race Equality Pledge. An Action Plan has been devised to help us embed this pledge. We are committed to working with all Lewisham schools, our parish and our wider community to further promote and embed race equality. More information about the pledge is available here.
The Tackling Race Inequality in Education pledge commitments:
- We will work to address the inequalities that result from historic, systemic racist policies and practices.
- We pledge to take actions that will address access and opportunity for all pupils, by highlighting inequalities and increasing awareness.
We commit to:
- Targeting ambitious outcomes for Black Caribbean heritage and Black and Minority Ethnic pupils.
- Reducing exclusions of Black Caribbean heritage pupils of all ages.
- Leaders and governors taking a whole school approach to tackling race inequality.
- Transparent reporting and sharing of borough-wide data trends.
- Working together in new ways and sharing good practice to tackle race inequality in our school cultures and curriculum.
- Actively developing high quality relationships with Black Caribbean heritage and Black and Minority Ethnic pupils and their parents.
- Improving Black representation in school leadership and governing bodies.
We will use this page to share the work that the school is doing to meet the aims of the pledge.
