this school really deserves its impending doom bcs management is soooo tone deaf “but why do our students choose to go to uni in their own city and out of the 2 they choose the non russell group one why aren’t we doing something to support them to aim higher 🤔” could it possibly be that this school is in one of the most deprived areas of the city/nationwide and thats a significant factor affecting academic achievement so students default to the uni w lower entry requirements theyre likely to get into? or maybe that our predominantly immigrant students and their families don’t share the culture of moving out and living independently at 18? that their immigration status and overseas qualifications affect their entry requirements ? that many of them are responsible for their families and don’t want to leave them? that its more affordable to stay home and not be in even more debt by taking out a maintenance loan to stay alive? the girls who aren’t allowed to leave home before marriage? what a truly confounding phenomenon that our students don’t go to a russell group uni it must be a very bad look that we get 90% students in higher education or formal training after college but not the ‘best’ choice. But what do i know i guess !

#p #theres no institutional racism and no racial and ethnic segregation here guys don’t worry. our students have equal opportunities!#unreal how tone deaf that whole email was #asking what we’re doing wrong where we’re going wrong #as if its no achievement to consistently send off students to uni regardless of status or rank #and like we have loads of students who Do move out and go to very good unis and even oxbridge #loads of students going into medicine and engineering and law #and loads of students whom we had to fight and advocate for to their families to even allow them to go to uni!!!!!!#you’re looking at one of the shittest areas and one of the shittest schools and acting like we’re getting disappointing results #shove your british values up your ass fix your country #on the same note as shitting themselves over ofsted and getting less than a good rating My brothers ofsted is comparing our school to #schools in the posh neighborhoods (some of the most middle upper class areas nationwide also)#and instead of seeing this as an opportunity to challenge standards and place value on everything we do right by our students #they’re trying to get the stats equal to those other schools and its having tangibly adverse effects on achievement engagement and attendanc #i’m sick from frustration with this damn schools leadership u are all shit #they should maybe possibly potentially look at what has actually improved student achievement and whose ideas they were #hint. not the white british leadership team’s #but i digress .
