Abstract

Culturally sensitive schooling engages with diverse student populations and culturally relevant pedagogical strategies (Berglund, 2015) and embodies cultural responsiveness (Aronson, Amatullah & Laughter, 2016). Meeting the religious and cultural needs of Muslim Pakistani students, and the wider Muslim school community, is challenging for many schools in England. Culturally (in)sensitive schooling is an important consideration for Muslim Pakistani parents when choosing a school that aligns with their beliefs (Banks & Banks, 2015). This study based in Blackburn, Northern England suggests that it is the extent to which a schools’ Religious Education (RE) and Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) curriculum is culturally sensitive that affects Pakistani Muslim parents’ choice or secondary school.
