Community Cohesion

This area of the website has been set up to promote awareness of diversity at Beacon Hill. Our aim is to move from Diversity Fortnight to Diversity 24:7.

What is Community Cohesion?
Community cohesion refers to the aspect of togetherness and bonding exhibited by members of a community, the "glue" that holds a community together. This might include features such as a sense of common belonging or cultural similarity.

Through our teaching and learning:
Helping our pupils to learn to understand others, to value diversity whilst also promoting shared values, to promote awareness of our human rights and to develop the skills needed to participate and choose responsible action.

Equity and excellence
All our staff work to make sure there are equal opportunities for all to succeed at the highest level possible, striving to remove barriers to access and participation in learning and wider activities and working to remove  variations in outcomes for our different groups.

Engagement
We are working to give our young people, their friends and families opportunities  to interact with people from different backgrounds and build positive relationships with the community. We want to raise the curiosity and aspirations of our students by offering them insights into the way other people live both in our immediate community and beyond.
