This presentation will explain the work undertaken at The Hazeley Academy to diversify its curriculum and promote equality and inclusion across subject disciplines. As part of curriculum development work across the school, a number of subjects have focused on celebrating diversity and promoting equality. At the heart of the approach is the idea that every curriculum subject is unique, which means that equality, diversity & inclusion will mean something different for each of them.

Assistant Principal Steve Whitney will take us through the results of this work so far in subjects including geography, history, philosophy and ethics, and MFL. Subject leaders have been empowered to lead on this work. They were able to define their own success criteria and this has led to a range of approaches, innovations and great impact. Approaches include improving resources, representation and vocabulary in MFL, "decolonising" the history curriculum while focusing further on civil rights and world history, and focusing in more depth on racism, sexism and LGBT+ rights in philosophy and ethics.

The presentation will touch upon the use of student voice and will explain how the school's equality group is set up, operates and contributes to this work.
