Welcome back to The AMCIS Podcast, brought to you by The Bonjour Agency. This is the podcast where we speak to people in the independent school sector.
AMCIS is the association for admissions, marketing and communications in independent schools, I’m Simon Jones and in this episode we have two guests both coming to us from Eltham College. Now, earlier this year AMCIS ran the IMPACT awards (you’ll probably remember hearing about that) and Eltham College won the IMPACT Award for Equity, Diversity & Inclusion with something they’d done called ‘Every Name Matters’, an initiative that addressed the mispronunciation of pupils’ names – which some said made them feel undignified, insecure or inferior.
I was very excited to hear about this because I have one of the easiest names in the world to get right and so I needed to understand what it’s like for others with harder to pronounce names. So if you’re like me and you have an easy-to-pronounce name, or if your name is harder to say and you have close association with this topic then this is the episode for you.
Edward Funnell is the Head of Communications and Gideon Hammond is the Lead on Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage (REACH) and also a teacher of maths & physics.
So come with me now as we step into Eltham College and speak to Gideon and Edward about this initiative, ‘Every Name Matters’.That’s all coming up in this episode so come with me as we speak to the Headmistress at Channing School, it’s Lindsey Hughes.
