EDI is a key part of We Thrive. This isn’t just confined to pastoral work, but it is also about who we are here at NULS. The Spring term has seen a massive amount of work going on to help educate our pupils on why it is so important to be inclusive. Just this term alone Year 8 History has been focusing on the slave trade and learning about the horrors and experiences of innocent people taken from their homes and traded into slavery. In Year 9, the focus has been on the Civil Rights Movement looking at key turning points and with the realisation of the relevance of the movement today. In RS, Year 9 pupils have been working on Gender Roles and Sexism, including misogyny, misandry, patriarchy; with a focus on the question: to what extent are gender roles becoming more equal in society? The play ‘Noughts and Crosses’ has been an area of study for GCSE Drama students this term with its focus on racism, division and tragedy.
Even our co-curricular activities embrace EDI. This term the Linguistics Society for World Braille Day, spent their sessions looking at Braille and learning about the language. In school we have a thriving Model United Nations programme which helps pupils understand global events and issues such as climate change, human rights, democracy, world poverty etc. Our MUN attended a conference at Manchester High School for Girls in February which saw 350 pupils from 20 schools debate issues such as statelessness, the exploitation of migrant workers and the safety of migrant women and children. The conference were also lucky to be addressed virtually by the UN’s Deputy Secretary General, Amina J. Mohammed.
