Ethnic demographic request

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Bedminster Down School, Bristol should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Bedminster Down School, Bristol,

I am writing to request statistics of the ethic demographic in your school. As an equal opportunities employer, I’m sure you collect information such as this.

This information is important to me as Bristol is an equal opportunities city and I am conducting a survey to represent how well BME teachers and pupils are represented in schools in Bristol.

I would like, the number of staff who identify as Black and Minority Ethnicities (BME) in:
1. Teaching roles
2. Non-Teaching roles
I would also like to know, out of all your pupils: How many identify as BME.

Please include the total number of:
1. Staff in teaching roles at the school
2. Staff in non-teaching roles at the school
3. Pupils at the school

Thank you, I look forward to your response.
