The Rainbow Room

Diversity

Diversity is key to our British Values and British identity. Everyone is different but we are all part of one community. At Manningtree High School we recognise and celebrate diversity within and outside our community.

We work with various outside agencies including: Show Racism the Red Card; Hope not Hate; OutHouse; Stonewall; OutHouse; CARA; the PSHE Association; and Colchester United. These agencies help us to deliver sessions that reflect the many benefits that diversity brings to our lives.

In 2022, Manningtree High School introduced The Rainbow Room. Available weekly during a lunchtime, The Rainbow Room is a relaxed, safe space with an open door, where students can learn about the LGBTQ+ community, ask questions, contribute to diversity events held by the school, and where students can receive support specifically in relation to expression, identity, gender and sexuality.
