Thank you to all our students who came along to our Equality and Diversity committee meeting today! Notes of our discussion to follow...

# data[].attributes.body
The things we discussed and agreed we would like to explore further were:

Create an ACTIVE lesson for all year groups which is focused around issues of EDI, to allow students to properly discuss this in their classes with a teacher leading the session

Create an assembly to highlight the EDI issues faced by some of our students and staff, to raise awareness in the student population of people's lived experiences

Focus on promoting inclusive language around the school

Raise awareness with teachers of micro-aggressions experienced by some students at school, so that teachers know what to listen out for in lessons

Create a supportive school environment for students who are neuro-diverse

We've been doing some exciting things!

Our student leaders shared articles we have contributed to the Newsletter this year so far in the new section of the publication: 'Our Diverse Community'. We marked Disability Awareness Month in November and December with articles celebrating some of our students who live with disabilities and thrive! Thanks to Archie, Ella, Jake and Chloe for sharing their experiences with us.

Mrs Wotton shared with the group our plans to work with the Global Equality Collective to survey our whole student and staff population about people's personal experience of diversity, equality and inclusion at Hayes. There will be more to come on this!

We discussed plans to create a student Inter-Faith group to bring students of difference faiths together to learn about each others' beliefs and practices.

We brainstormed ideas for a Culture Day, to be held in the summer term, in which we want to encourage students and staff to celebrate their cultural identities, participate in cultural activities during the school day and eat a range of food from different cultures in the restaurant. We will be taking these plans to SLT for approval this term.
