Diversity and inclusion

Our commitment to inclusion and fairness means that everyone is encouraged to aspire, learn, succeed and progress in their academic and professional careers. Our schools are great places to be: we aim to bring out the best in all children and young people, regardless of their starting points or backgrounds, by promoting a welcoming atmosphere and valuing every individual equally. 

We actively welcome people, ideas and opportunities that broaden horizons and deepen understanding of the world around us, supporting the development of our sense of self as citizens in our communities and globally. 

We are committed to having a diverse workforce, to provide an inclusive culture throughout United Learning and to ensure we reflect the communities we serve. As part of our commitment, we have signed the Business in the Community Race at Work Charter. We know that ethnic minorities still face significant disparities in employment and progression in the workplace, and that is something that needs to change. The Charter is composed of seven calls to action for leaders and organisations across all sectors. We have also signed the National Governance Association's Statement of action and committments on equality, diversity and inclusion in education which includes the future actions we have committed to.
