At Abbey Gates, our commitment is to ensure that children see themselves and their community reflected in the individuals they learn about and the images they encounter. We recognise that stereotypes can influence children from an early age, and one of our primary roles as a school is to actively challenge these stereotypes. We are aware that such stereotyping can contribute to unconscious biases, and it is our responsibility to confront and address these preconceived notions.

Our Diversity Maps serve as resources for our staff. They are instrumental in ensuring that individuals of Black and Ethnic Minority heritage, women, and people with disabilities are not just included but interwoven into the fabric of our school community. We aim to avoid isolating them or treating them as standalone elements.

Please note that these Diversity Maps are dynamic documents, subject to ongoing updates and improvements.
