Equity, diversity and inclusivity
Principal Aim ‘Our approach is to foster an ethos of equity, diversity and inclusivity across the community for the benefit of all’ Fiona Angel Senior Deputy Achieving our aims Dulwich is characterised by an academic, creative and active atmosphere but we never take this, or the reciprocated respect between pupils and staff, for granted and recognise the importance of nurturing our environment. Equity, diversity and inclusivity Our ethos of equity, diversity and inclusivity is embedded in our teaching, our operations, our admissions, our recruitment, and can be seen in our Code of Conduct which reminds everyone, including new joiners - be they pupils, staff or parents - about the expectations of us all. We seek to be tolerant towards everyone in the community, and behave with courtesy and common sense. Wellbeing, tutoring and pupil voice are essential pastoral elements of what helps make a Dulwich Education More than 100 hours are included in the timetable with a specific focus on supporting and improving wellbeing, and the Yelcho Room opens every break and lunch time for pupils to drop in and talk with Listening Staff and Counsellors about anything, no matter how big or small. Our D&I (Diversity and Inclusion) Forum of pupils from every form group feedback with questions and actions and our D&I Alliance, an action group and think tank, feedback directly to SMT (Senior Management Team). D&I prefects have briefs for Race and Ethnicity, LGBTQ+ and Gender Allyship. Mentoring of younger pupils by older students underpins the sense of role modelling, kindness and tolerance that are key to our community, and pupil led councils and committees enable us to ensure we are fulfilling our objectives.
