Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Recognising and Celebrating Unique Differences
In A Welcoming Environment

Aldenham is a welcoming environment with a diverse intake, with students and staff
from many backgrounds and with different lived experiences. We aim to recognise
and celebrate such differences as they bring richness to us all.

EDI In Practice

At Aldenham, we take Equality, Diversity and Inclusion seriously. It is more than just special or targeted events, or days with a one-off focus (although these do happen). More, it is about how our curriculum is planned, and our thinking is focused on making sure that all have equal opportunity to thrive, and that we are able to learn from and celebrate difference – whether it be cultural, racial, religious, LGBTQ+ or neurodiversity and more. We see strength in difference rather than simply challenge.

Black History Month at Aldenham

Every year, schools use October as a time to celebrate black history whilst reinforcing messages around anti–racism. This year, however, the Aldenham community has embraced Black History Month as never before. In some ways we have been led by our students, whose articulate response to this summer’s events has inspired their teachers to think more […]
