Improving Gender Balance and Equalities with Education Scotland @ECPS

In term 4 last session, our Primary 7 and Primary 7/6 pupils were lucky to work with Fiona Shaw from Education Scotland – Fiona’s role is to work with schools to ensure everyone has equality of opportunity, particularly with careers and subject choice. Pupils engaged with a variety of tasks which raised awareness of stereotypes . There was a lot of thought provoking conversations which really made them all consider unconscious bias.  Our staff are excited to welcome Fiona Shaw back to East Calder, along with the staff from Kirknewton Primary, for more work on improving the gender balance and stereotypes in our October In Service day.
