Masterclass overview:
The Cultural Diversity Quality Standard (CDQS) provides clear aspirations for both multicultural schools and those located in areas of limited diversity. Working towards a set of criteria will help your school to achieve areas of the new Ofsted inspection framework.
This masterclass is designed to help you self-evaluate against the framework. The CDQS measures a school’s success within the following five key areas:
1. School ethos
2. Achievement
3 .Curriculum
4. Parent/carer involvement and community role
5. Staff and governors.
