Plymouth Institute of Education

Thursday 20 July | 13:00 - 14:00 | Enacting and experiencing multiculturalism in South West England primary schools | Presenter: Suparna Bagchi, PIoE

Awareness of cultural diversity and race equality has heightened following George Floyd’s killing in the USA in 2020. This increasing awareness is particularly relevant in areas of historically low ethnic diversity which have lately experienced a rise in ethnic minority populations and where inclusive growth is a challenge.
Suparna's research is a holistic exploration of the perspectives of students, parents, and practitioners towards multiculturalism in four South West England primary schools. She adopted a qualitative case study methodology framed by sociocultural theory. This presentation will aim to focus on her research findings.

The study clearly links to Europe-wide considerations of how cultural awareness can be experienced through the practice of multicultural education for the inclusion of ethnically diverse children by creating safe places for them in the mainstream education system. This becomes distinctly pertinent to avoid horrific cases like Child Q’s case where a Black teenager was strip-searched during period wrongly suspected of cannabis possession.

If your child is due to start school in September, listen up! 📣 Here are this week's top tips to help prepare them:

1️⃣ As you play together, talk about sharing and taking turns. This will help your child understand how to interact with other children and give them the language to do so.

2️⃣ As you go through your morning routine together, talk your child through it. This will enable your child to become more confident with self-care. Discuss what is happening and ask them what to do next.

3️⃣ If you haven't already done so, start to establish a good bedtime routine. Reading a book or chatting quietly together are good ways to help your child to relax before bed.

4️⃣ Encourage your child to be a good listener. Listen for sounds as you go for a walk and play games that involve sound.
