Abstract
The demographic shift in Britain over recent years is more apparent in our schools than anywhere else; with changes in racial, cultural, religious and linguistic diversity all contributing to making these schools different from what they used to be. The way that educators (in particular) respond to these changes can have significant impact on the happiness and well-being of children from these diverse backgrounds. A positive or negative response can affect the happiness, self-esteem and academic success of Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) children. It is often said that childhood is the happiest time of our lives, with happiness conceptualised as a relatively stable positive affective trait that underscores life satisfaction and subjective well-being. Children’s well-being and happiness is thus an increasingly important area of interest in practice, and especially for policy and research, with governments becoming more interested in monitoring and measuring children’s well-being to inform policy.
