At Northwood School, we seek to provide our students with opportunities to develop their understanding and appreciation of diversity. In a multicultural and ever increasingly diverse society, we recognise the importance of equipping our students with the knowledge and understanding of the different facets of identity.
Our bespoke diversity programme contains six strands:
| Autumn 1 | Autumn 2 | Spring 1 | Spring 2 | Summer 1 | Summer 2 |
| The natural world Focus: The environment | Race and ethnicity [traditional dress and fashion] Focus: Race and ethnicity | Religious and non religious celebration Focus: Religion and non religious | Challenging physical and mental barriers Focus: Disability and neurodiversity | Gender representation in the media Focus: Gender | Pride Focus: Sexual orientation |
Diversity: What we do to help our students best prepare for in adult life
Over the course of the academic year, our students discuss a range of different diversity topics. Each half term places a spotlight on a specific facet of diversity.
This programme endeavours to:
- Expose misconceptions surrounding race, ethnicity, disability, neurodiversity and gender
- Empower students to challenge offensive commentary in articulate and appropriate way
- Equip students with the skills to voice their thoughts, opinions and beliefs with conviction and humility
- Foster an appreciation of our natural world
- Provide all students with a platform to express their identity in a safe and inclusive environment
