For us at Notley High School & Braintree Sixth Form. We are committed to developing and strengthening equality, diversity and inclusion throughout the school and sixth form. The development and nurture of respect for others is at the heart of all we do at the school. We celebrate the diversity within our community.
In 2024, we were proud to achieve the Silver level in the Pride in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Award for the first time. This has included a full review of our policies and practices, staff and student surveys, staff training, training for governors, and training for our student Pride Group.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are built into our taught curriculum across the school, from Design and Technology to Modern Foreign Languages. Celebration events and information sharing events have been built into the school’s calendar. Each classroom, as well as our school Reception, displays posters confirming our school community’s respect for protected characteristics.
Equality, diversity and inclusion is included as a part of our curriculum review and training for staff.
