Any of yous Ofsted trained? Nope? OK then, during inspection one target schools must achieve to be deemed satisfactory at the very least, is that they are aware of diversity in all arenas of life and are inclusive of it.
Schools did not make this benchmark up for themselves.
It came into being during the Bliar regime and has been absorbed by his buddies in the Tory party.
So the game is, you don't have to prove you're diversity-aware, but if you wanna, here's some funding you can apply for, and if you 'continue to select teachers exclusively from within certain communities' we'll fail you on inspection.
That means the school goes into special measures, the kids and staff are demoralised, and in a short space of time the senior management team is replaced.
So, what actually prevents people from becoming teachers apart from the legal checklist?
Fear of very hard work and a disinclination to be damned if you do or don't.
