St Catherine’s Awarded Silver:
I am absolutely delighted to announce that our school has been awarded with the Silver Mark which recognises our commitment to ensuring that our school community reflects the diverse world we live in.
Our commitment to diversity permeates within each strand of our school, from our leadership, to our staff, our exceptional students, and the curriculum that our students engage with every day. We have taken feedback on board and will continue to do so in ensuring that our vibrant school community continually promotes a positive ethos and culture which champions and strives for conscious equality and inclusivity.
We will continue to work closely with staff, students, and parents in ensuring that all students and staff feel safe, feel seen and feel valued.
Receiving this formal accreditation is by no means the end of our journey, but simply the start. The start of our journey towards a learning community that positively reflects, celebrates, and empowers all students. We welcome feedback and suggestions, and we ask that you continue to journey with us on this exciting journey ahead. Once again, it is with great pleasure to announce that our school has been awarded with the Silver Mark which recognises our commitment to ensuring that our school community reflects the diverse world we live in.

Press Release:
St Catherine’s Catholic School recognised for their commitment to action and improvement in relation to race equality.
Congratulations to St Catherine’s Catholic School who have been recognised nationally for their commitment to improving race equality and prioritising an inclusive culture where staff, students, parents and partners of all ethnicities are equally valued, by being awarded the Silver level RACE Chartermark.
Developed by SSAT (the Schools, Students and Teachers network) and Fig Tree International, the Race and Conscious Equality (RACE) Charter Mark is for schools, academies and colleges, both in the state and private sectors, in the UK who wish to demonstrate their commitment to action and improvement in relation to race equality in all aspects of their work as educators, employers and community leaders.
To achieve the charter mark St Catherine’s Catholic School completed a comprehensive package of training for governors, senior leaders and middle leaders, and submitted an evaluation detailing their work towards equality so far and an action plan pledging their commitment to ongoing development in this area.
Angelia Idun, Director of Education, SSAT said:
“I am delighted that St Catherine’s Catholic School has been awarded the Silver RACE Charter mark. Their application and action plan clearly show a positive ethos and culture which champions and strives for conscious equality and inclusivity throughout the school community. We look forward to continuing to work with the school to see their strategic vision fully realised”
