Equality, Diversity and Inclusion at Tewkesbury Academy 2026 – 2027
At Tewkesbury Academy, we believe that everyone should feel valued, respected and able to achieve their full potential. As a proud member of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), we are committed to creating an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and where all members of our community can flourish.
We recognise and celebrate the richness that comes from different backgrounds, experiences, cultures, identities and perspectives. Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) underpin our vision, values and everyday practice, ensuring that every student, member of staff and visitor feels they belong.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Promoting equality of opportunity for all.
- Eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation
- Fostering positive relationships and mutual respect across our community.
- Creating a culture where differences are recognised, valued and celebrated.
- Ensuring that every student has access to the opportunities, support and challenge they need to succeed.
- Supporting the wellbeing, development and progression of all staff and students.
Our approach is guided by the Equality Act 2010 and reflects the CLF’s commitment to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
- Foster good relations between people from different backgrounds and communities.
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion in Action
At Tewkesbury Academy, EDI is embedded throughout school life. We seek to:
- Deliver a broad and inclusive curriculum that reflects diverse voices, experiences and perspectives.
- Promote understanding, empathy and respect through assemblies, tutorial programmes, PSHE lessons and enrichment activities.
- Challenge prejudice, discrimination and stereotypes wherever they occur.
- Listen to and learn from the experiences of our students, staff and wider community.
- Provide opportunities for student leadership and pupil voice to shape our culture and practice.
- Ensure recruitment, development and progression opportunities are fair, transparent and inclusive.
A Culture of Belonging
We understand that creating an inclusive community is an ongoing journey. We are committed to continually reviewing and developing our practice so that everyone at Tewkesbury Academy feels safe, respected and empowered to be themselves.
By working together, we aim to build a community where diversity is celebrated, barriers are removed, and every individual is supported to thrive and succeed
