Diversity

We want our curriculum to recognise and celebrate the diversity that exists within the social groups within our school community, the communities we serve and society as a whole. We want our pupils to be aware of the characteristics of others and treat others with compassion, empathy, understanding and equity, regardless of those characteristics. As our pupils progress in our curriculum, they will become increasingly aware of a range of specific characteristics which can define our   identity, including sex, gender, race, religion, age, disability and sexuality.

Our curriculum incorporates opportunities for our pupils to:

• develop empathy and compassion for others

• celebrate diverse backgrounds, values and characteristics

• develop their own values and sense of identity

• develop understanding of people with different beliefs and perspectives

• challenge stereotypes
