What are Culturally Responsive Schools?

Culturally Responsive where cultural and linguistic diversity are celebrated. The focus is on the assets that all children, young people, their families and staff bring to school, as well as raising expectations and making learning relevant to all. Staff will take time to learn about, understand and value the sociocultural worlds of children and young people, and will incorporate that into teaching and learning so that learning is relevant to all, and so that all cultures and backgrounds are equally respected and valued. This resource gives some further explanation, with thanks to the National Education Union for permission to share.

What is the Culturally Responsive Schools toolkit?

The Culturally Responsive Schools toolkit is about making things easy for schools, not adding any work but simplifying things by joining up the different policies, guidance and resources to show how a culturally responsive school will be one where Rights Respecting Schools/UNCRC, literacy across the curriculum, L1+2, Global Citizenship and Celebrating Diversity are all embedded in practice.

The toolkit has four themes that lead to a range of links, advice, strategies and case studies that include links to relevant policy and curriculum documents making it easier for schools to link evidence of good practice to key policy documents.

Who is the toolkit for?

In short, everyone. While much of the content will be helpful for teaching staff, it will also be relevant to those in the wider school community, including pupils, staff and parents, whether monolingual or multilingual.
