Equity in Education: Time to stop and think – A report on the state of equity in the English education system by Mel Ainscow and Kirstin Kerr

14/11/2017kirkby

The work of the Kirkby Collaborative of Schools is described in this newly published piece of work.

This report brings up to date the Centre for Equity in Education’s work over ten years in monitoring efforts to create a more equitable education system. In partnership with local practitioners, policy makers and communities, it has sought to understand how inequities arise in some of England’s most disadvantaged places – in former mill and mining towns, poor inner-city suburbs, and social housing estates – and what can be done to address these, locally and nationally.

Section 3 outlines Promising developments.

Here we present some of the promising developments emerging in the places where we work. We are not claiming these to be ‘solutions’, or to comprehensively address the challenges set out in Section 2, but they do provide a clear signal to policy makers about how the system could be moved in more equitable directions.

The work of the Kirkby Collaborative of Schools is described on page 16 – An area-based partnership developed by schools

You can read the full report in the Resources section of the Collaborative website.

As we move to full opening of schools it is time to pause and say THANKYOU to the Kirkby Collaborative education team – all our parents and carers, school staff and children – who have worked in partnership during lockdown to provide fantastic education opportunities

Well done to all our schools who took part in World Book Day with an imaginative range of ideas, activities and character costumes – and this year the additional appearance in many schools of The Masked Reader …. https://t.co/U9YSFUwaTi

As we move to full opening of our schools next week it is worth noting that last week over 1,000 children attended school each day in the 14 schools of the Kirkby Collaborative – well done everyone for your support to the Kirkby community
