Request from Mark Walker – Solidarity Trade Union  
 
Reference is made in questions for opinions and judgements which fall 
outside of this process.  Further information may be held by schools. Where 
relevant information is known to be held and accessible this is identified 
below:- 
 
Q1 
Schools are subject to periodic inspection by Ofsted, the National 
Inspection body for schools.  Part of the Ofsted remit is to assess the 
way in which schools address community cohesion.  Ofsted’s views are 
reported publicly in the reports published on their website at  
 
Primary school 
https://www.ofsted.gov.uk/oxedu_providers/list_providers/(sort)/datesort,desc/
(type)/4096/(typename)/Primary%20schools
 
   
Secondary 
http://ofsted3.openanswers.com/oxedu_providers/list_providers/(sort)/datesort
,desc/(type)/8192/(typename)/Secondary%20schools  
 
School inspection reports are monitored by School Improvement 
Partners and there have been no reported concerns about the way in 
which community cohesion or racism policies have been applied. 
 
Q2  
Many examples of good practice in schools are published through 
national websites including the DCSF and it partners/agents. Havering 
Council has not published any such examples. If individual schools in 
Havering have such examples that have not been published an 
information request would need to be made to them direct.  Ofsted 
inspection reports may help to identify externally judged good practice.   
 
 
 
Havering schools are required to record and report upon racial 
incidents.  
 
Q3  
There is no information held by Havering to support Q1 and 2 
 
Q4 
This question falls outside the remit of a FOI request insofar as 
releasing information is concerned.
