What is a meaning of diversity?

It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences. These can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies. At St Teresa’s we want our pupils to know they are uniquely created by God and that our differences should be celebrated. We want everyone in our community to have a sense of belonging.

What is the diversity wheel?

The Diversity Wheel gives an overview of the dimensions of diversity that are present and active in our environment. At St Teresa’s we consider these dimensions when planning our curriculum.
