Diana Award Inclusion Badge
North Wootton Academy has been awarded the Diana Award Inclusion Badge, formerly known as the Respect badge, with their Anti-Bullying Ambassadors leading the way across the school and community to champion diversity and inclusion and promoting equal rights for the nine protected characteristics.
They were particularly commended for demonstrating:
-
A passion for restorative justice and the importance of having these conversations in relation to being an up stander against all types of bullying behaviour using scenarios to model appropriate responses.
-
A dedication to underrepresented communities such as refugees and also, a celebration of different heritages.
-
Creativity, through different mediums, such as books, presentations, events and competitions which touch diverse backgrounds and communities.
-
Inclusivity and respect for others, including their differences, and advocating for diversity. Odd Socks day and Open-mindedness Day are examples of this.
