Diversity and inclusion

As a school, we live by our vision, and that means ensuring that everyone in our community is accepted, included and empowered. We have a diverse staff and student body of which we are incredibly proud.

Our pupils know and understand the importance of showing respect to everyone, whatever differences we may have, and to everything, whether it is a school resource or a religious belief. We promote and celebrate diversity by celebrating events such as Black History Month, Pride, and different religious festivals over the course of each year.

Ark Bulington Danes is committed to providing a fully accessible environment, which values and includes all pupils, staff, parents and visitors regardless of their education, physical, sensory, social, spiritual, emotional and cultural needs. We are committed to challenging negative attitudes about disability and accessibility, and to developing a culture of awareness, tolerance and inclusion.

Our staff Diversity Group has led a whole-school review of our curriculum to ensure we can identify all possible opportunities to celebrate and explore diversity in the academic curriculum. This has been led by our History department, where students now learn a wide-ranging curriculum covering history from all over the world.

We want to reflect and represent diverse perspectives across our organisation because we know that doing so will make us stronger, more connected and enhance our pupils' education.
