The Branksome Hall Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)

In this audit, we set out to determine benchmarking data on the internal state of DEI within the organization. Important progress in our school community has been made alongside this research. We are proud of our work and fully dedicated to continuous improvement as we embark together on the implementation of our initial action plan.

The Branksome Hall Board of Governors and leadership team are committed to ensuring that Branksome Hall is an inclusive community, where everyone feels they belong and can thrive. To that end, we have moved forward with a transparent self-examination of where we were and where we wanted to go as a school. The Board and school leadership are confident these measures, which are consistent with our strategic priorities, will benefit our students and our entire community, and will help to maintain Branksome as a leading organization.

DEI work always leaves room for growth, and this audit gives us the opportunity to foster positive change within our community, while inspiring this movement within other educational institutions. In sharing Anima Leadership’s findings and recommendations, we invite you to join us as we continue to make progress and identify ways to enhance the Branksome Hall experience for all.

Land Acknowledgement

We wish to acknowledge this land on which Branksome operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the HuronWendat, the Seneca, and most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous peoples from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work and go to school on this land.

We would like to thank the Branksome Hall community for participating in this study.
