Diversity & Inclusion through MADD 23rd - 27th May

We are delighted to announce the return of MADD Week, running as part of Diversity & Inclusion Week. All learners in Year 7 , 8 and 9 will choose workshops in Music, Art, Dance and Drama each morning, to explore the theme "Tell Your Story". The diverse range on offer means there's something for everyone.

The event will culminate in a MADD House competition on Friday, where learners will collaborate, communicate and create in one area of the Arts to represent their house!

Learners across the whole school will celebrate Diversity & Inclusion Week from the 23rd-27th May.

The theme of the week is 'Me-You-Us', encouraging learners to celebrate their own unique cultures, languages, beliefs, interests and skills, as well as recognise and show empathy for the characteristics of peers, and appreciate the value of us bringing this all together as a special and harmonious community. Similarly to all of our themed weeks, Diversity & Inclusion Week aims to nurture understanding and a desire to act upon one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals; we will focus on goal 16 - Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
