Catherine Anwar,

Dear Dr Iqbal,

We received your FOI request on Monday 8 January as it had been sent to
the email address of the previous CEO.

 

I would be grateful if you could clarify precisely what you mean by
‘under-representation’ in points 6 and 7 of your email.

 

 

Many thanks.

 

Best wishes,

 

Catherine Anwar

Dear Catherine Anwar,

Thank you for your message. By under-representation I mean if there are fewer Pakistani heritage staff and/or governors when compared with Pakistani heritage students.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Karamat
Please find attached the information about numbers and percentages of pupils from Pakistani heritage that you requested.
I am not able to provide the information about staff. Their self-identification of heritage, when present on application forms and other documentation, is made confidentially and I am not at liberty to share this information.
In general, I can say that I believe there are fewer staff of Pakistani heritage than pupils in terms of numbers, as this is the information you asked for. However, I believe that what you really want is to compare the relative proportions to the general school population, to see if they match those of pupils. I’m afraid that I am not able to calculate this.
There is no system in place currently in the Trust to track or measure this metric.

With all best wishes,
Cathy

Dear Catherine Anwar,
Thank you for the information you have supplied. As to the remaining information, please note I am not asking for any confidential information but the overall figures. Furthermore, please note that, within the context of equality legislation ethnic monitoring has been a longstanding practice. Currently, under the Equality Act 2010, public sector large employers (more than 150 employees) are required to collect and publish ethnicity data on their workforce.

Please can you also supply the information asked about the Pakistani representation on governance.

Please note that the same request for information was made to a number of other Birmingham schools and colleges. A number have already provided the information and others will do so in due course. The overall information will then be published in a table against the name of the school. Schools that do not provide the information will have a nil response shown.

Yours sincerely,

karamat iqbal

Dear Catherine Anwar,

This is to remind you that I am still waiting for your staffing information. A large number of schools have already supplied the data. When the data are published, in my forthcoming book and elsewhere, schools which have not responded some or all of the requested information will be shown as 'Failure to Respond'.

Yours sincerely,

karamat iqbal

Catherine Anwar,
