Promoting Diversity

• At MJS, we have a variety of cultures and beliefs amongst our pupils and staff. Although broadly Christian in ethos, we celebrate diversity with the children.
• Our RE learning includes stories, discussions, visitors and learning about celebrations from a variety of faiths and cultures. Pupils and visitors of different faiths or religions are encouraged to share their knowledge to enhance learning within classes and the school. Children visit places of worship that are important to different faiths where possible.
• Units of work are established to celebrate a range of diverse cultures: French, Chinese, House of Wisdom. Also, a topic in Year 4 specifically celebrates the diverse nature of the class.
• At MJS, we will actively challenge pupils, staff or parents expressing opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views.
• Within PSHE units of work, we explicitly look at Diversity, such as an anti-bullying unit in Year 6 and two earlier units in Years 3 and 4.
• During Circle Time, ‘No More Outsiders’ books stimulate class discussions around inclusivity and diversity.
• Fijian culture is a strong influence on the school community and is celebrated frequently in events such as Love of Fiji day and the Fijian Rugby Book Project
• Within art, a range of influences are examined such as Picasso, Warhol, Hokusai and Goldsworthy.
• During English, texts are used from a range of cultures and backgrounds, e.g. Journey to Jo’burg and Anisha, Accidental Detective.
• Corridor displays constantly cover a range of diverse cultures and diversity itself such as the PSHE celebrating diversity display.
