Davenant Foundation School
Davenant Foundation School is a coeducational secondary school in Loughton Essex.
They were one of the first educational establishments to participate in the Above Difference Leading Inclusively with Cultural Intelligence (CQ®) programme.
The tailored programme for educational establishments supported the academic staff and the pupils to deal effectively with multiculturalism in the school and develop a better understanding of ‘culture’ and how it affects pupil teacher interactions.
“It is fair to say that Davenant would not be as culturally sensitive as we are today if it were not for Jennifer. The students and staff now have a confidence is recognising and celebrating cultural difference as well as raising concerns.”
The unique combination of Cultural Intelligence (CQ) and Inclusive Leadership offers a new, innovative approach to the inclusion agenda that is rooted in academic research and based on a clear framework.
At Above Difference, we equip leaders and organisations to move from ‘managing diversity’ to ‘leading for inclusion’. By developing CQ and Inclusive Leadership styles in individuals and organisations, we develop individual’s ability to decisively and intentionally create inclusive workplace cultures where diversity is recognised as one of the organisations greatest assets and all cultures are valued and respected.
