Diversity and Inclusivity

Deputy Head Student, Zara, is putting together a working group with the aim to help diversify the curriculum.  You can find more information about this group's aims below. 

At PHSG, we feel that it is important to always aim for a community where everyone feels accepted and to raise awareness of the cultures around us. We plan to continue supplying a more diverse curriculum as well as introduction diversity through writing, reading and speech, as well as introducing a support space and educating people about ongoing issues and ways in which they can help build a better community. We have many exciting ideas coming, so be on the lookout for any updates! 

Assemblies / Events

We want to engage everyone in the events and activities that we hold, such as the cultural food festival, in hope that everyone will feel part of the group.  We will use assemblies to make announcements on upcoming events that are planned as well as presentations on necessary issues or news in general that we feel need to be addressed or celebrated.  

Literature

Diverse reading is vital to showing us different perspectives and experiences, as well as helping to increase representation in the media, look out for our reviews and recommendations in Hear Me Out, display boards around the school, and many more literary projects throughout the year.

Please check out Zara's recommended Diversity and Inclusivity book list, 15 books celebrating 15 diverse voices 

Notice Boards

We have a notice board (outside A3) we use to inform and educate peers on the discrimination of minorities, and where we hope to share past and current news.  As well as celebrating the diverse community we have at PHSG and society as a whole, this space will allow those to feel proud of who they are and share that experience with others. 

Curriculum

We aim to integrate various different cultures and lifestyles into PHSG’s school environment, ranging from the curriculum to posters and themes around the site, to better understand somewhat misrepresented minority groups.
