Respect for the Diversity of People and Cultures
Respect for the Diversity of People and Cultures acknowledges the unique gifts, contributions and perspectives of individuals and groups, reinforcing the value of participatory decision-making and collaborative action.
At Milford we try to ensure that all children feel safe at school, they are encouraged to embrace their uniqueness and stand up for their own perspectives.
Appreciating each child's differences makes us all feel special and respected for who we are.
Below are some of the ways that we encourage diversity at Milford School.
Peace Week
Each year, Milford School celebrates Peace week with a different theme. In 2020 we celebrated our diversity.
