Anti-Racist Award
We are thrilled to announce that Springwell Leeds Academy has been awarded the BRONZE Anti-Racist Award by Leeds Beckett University’s Centre for Race, Education & Decoloniality (CRED) This recognition places us among a very few SEMH special schools in the country to be acknowledged for our dedication to combating racism and fostering an anti-racist environment. We are incredibly grateful to our pupils, staff, parents, and the wider community for their unwavering support.
The Bronze Award signifies a significant milestone on our path towards eliminating racism. We remain committed to ongoing improvement, continuously refining our school policies, procedures, curriculum, and partnerships.
The Anti-Racist Awards program focuses on and evaluates the school in seven key areas to drive school improvement in the fight against racism:
- Governance
- Leadership & Management
- School Environment
- Professional Development for Staff
- The “Hidden Curriculum” (e.g., policies, ethos)
- Curriculum Content & Teaching Methods
- Partnerships with Parents & Communities
These awards play a vital role in promoting racial equality within schools, fostering a safe and inclusive space for all members of our diverse community, including BAME staff, students, parents, carers, and the wider community.
