Cultural Diversity at Woodside High School

Woodside High School demonstrates a clear commitment to the promotion of cultural diversity and quality as highlighted in its School Improvement Plan, Community Cohesion Policy and other policies and related documents.

Woodside High School aims to create a fair and just school community that promotes social inclusion, community cohesion and equality that respects diversity and which challenges and acts upon discrimination and inequality, including bullying.

The school takes positive action to promote racial harmony and to promote positive attitudes towards life in a multicultural and multi-ethnic and multi-faith school, through assemblies, the curriculum and special projects.

There is a continuous focus to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to achieve to the best of their ability regardless of their ethnic or racial background.

Woodside High School’s commitment to recognising and celebrating diversity has been celebrated with the award of a Gold Cultural Diversity Quality Standard (CDQS) by the Specialist School and Academies Trust.  The school has also been awarded the International Schools Awards (ISA) for its work in embracing the curriculum from different countries.
