Importance of School Values and Ethos

The podcast episode discusses the importance of school values and ethos in shaping the education and experiences of students. The speaker, Katherine Burble Singh, headmistress of the Michaela School in Wembley, highlights how their school's strict rules and discipline, along with a focus on multiculturalism and social cohesion, contribute to creating a successful and inclusive environment. She emphasizes the need for schools to actively engage in creating a sense of belonging, where children from diverse racial, religious, and social backgrounds can come together and be who they want to be, as long as it doesn't upset the overall balance of the school community.
