At Northfield Primary and Nursery School, we have a strong sense of equality.

We firmly believe that every child is unique and individual and should be treated as so. Every adult is unique and individual and treated as so too! We celebrate diversity and encourage everyone to proud of who they are. 

Through regular assemblies (including No Outsiders assemblies), our diverse curriculum, a wide variety of books shared in school and joining in with a variety of National fund-raising events such as World Mental Health day, Children in Need and many more, we guide children in understanding and celebrating our diverse world. Here are just some of the texts that are used in our Talking Points RSHE curriculum. 

Through our one community, to be healthy, life-long learning (legacy) and four corners of the world curriculum drivers, we aim to help children understand the diversity of people's beliefs, cultures and customs in modern Britain, and to see that differences and similarities are something to be welcomed and celebrated. 'We have more in common than that which divides us.' (Ref: Jo Cox).
