Equalities, Diversity & Inclusion
Parent Forums
By Mrs Herron, in Equalities, Diversity & Inclusion - Thursday, 4 May 2023
Before the Easter break, we held our first Parent Forum to discuss equality, diversity and inclusion at Fairlands, with a particular focus on views about racial equity and racism. It was a heartfelt and open discussion that raised many points to be considered. Thank you to the parents who were able to attend and share their views. Everything that was discussed has gone towards the actions that we are now taking to support our whole school community in this area.
We are not stopping there, though. We would like to give everyone the chance to share their views and so we have planned further sessions where we would like to invite you to come and discuss equality at Fairlands. The details have already been sent out, but here is a reminder of the invite to attend:
All the sessions will be with Mrs Herron and Miss Brooker, and will take place in the upper hall at 2pm.
