Celebrating Bronze Success at UK Feminista Action Awards

We are delighted to announce that our school has been awarded a Bronze UK Feminista Action Award, recognising our commitment to promoting gender equality and tackling sexism within our school community.

The award was achieved through the dedication and hard work of Miss Fox, who led the application as part of our ongoing efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable environment for all students. As part of the celebrations, Year 12 students Lucy and Milla accompanied Miss Fox to a prestigious awards ceremony held at the Houses of Parliament.

The award was presented by Helen Hayes alongside Nina Humphries, Director of UK Feminista. The event brought together schools and colleges from across the country that have demonstrated a commitment to advancing gender equality in education.

Guests also heard inspiring speeches from a range of speakers, including author and educator Matt Pinkett and award-winning children’s author Onjali Q. Raúf, who spoke about the importance of creating safe, respectful and inclusive environments for young people.

The UK Feminista Action Award Scheme recognises schools and colleges that are taking meaningful action to prevent sexism and sexual harassment through a whole-school approach. Achieving this Bronze Award is a significant milestone and reflects the positive work taking place across our school community.

We are incredibly proud of this achievement and would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making our school a place where equality, respect and inclusion are at the heart of what we do.

Our Bronze UK Feminista Action Award will soon take pride of place, framed and displayed next to Reception, where it can serve as a reminder of our commitment to continuing this important work.

Congratulations to Miss Fox, Lucy and Milla on representing the school so brilliantly at this special event.
