Anti-Racism Pledge For Schools in Leicester and Leicestershire.

We believe it’s crucial as educators and people with an interest in the education and welfare of young people, to take leadership to challenge racism and work towards racial justice.

We are asking for you to support our Anti-Racism Pledge for Schools and Colleges in Leicester and Leicestershire.

By signing the pledge and upholding the five key actions, you will be showing your support and commitment towards ensuring all our children and young people can be proud to attend Anti-Racist Schools.

We acknowledge these actions are just a first step in an ongoing process and significant change will require the necessary commitment, but we will endeavour to support you along the way with resources and signposting.

We call on schools to take 5 key actions

  • Release a statement showing their commitment to challenging all forms of racism and faith-based abuse and discrimination, including Anti-Black racism and acknowledge the call for “Black Lives Matter”.

  • Carry out an audit to include Equality Impact Assessments on all school policies and practices - review / rewrite accordingly.

  • Display clear information on how to report racist incidents and commit to releasing data in relation to this.

  • Commit to the teaching of racism, migration, Empire & colonialism.

  • Provide Racial Literacy training for all staff & Governors; to improve the understanding of racism as institutional & structural, the history behind it, the ways the education system reproduces racism & racial inequalities.

Take a look at our pledge here and get in touch if you would like to sign the pledge and join the 29 other schools who are already working on our 5 key actions.

You can also find a useful resources list here to support your school on its journey to becoming an anti-racist school.
