One Wildern

Text

Our world is extraordinary, shaped by a beautiful tapestry of cultures, races, beliefs, and abilities. We see this diversity not as a barrier, but as a reason to celebrate our shared humanity.

While our immediate school community may not reflect the full breadth of the globe, we are committed to providing our students with experiences that do. We want our students to appreciate the richness of the world and confidently find their place within it. By teaching them to stand up for what is right, we empower every student—regardless of their background—to thrive, achieve, and find happiness.

 

What does this look like practically in our school?

One Wildern day celebrates the rich tapestry of our diverse cultures and countries. Over the last few years, these celebrations have grown more vibrant and impactful year on year, and we are incredibly proud of how our community comes together to embrace them.

  • Bastille Day

  • Culture day

  • World Book Day - celebrating who we are

  • International Women’s Day

  • Our curriculum subjects lay out how we promote and celebrate diversity

  • Iftar meal to celebrate Ramadan

  • Our curriculum subjects support how we promote and celebrate diversity

  • Our assemblies cover topics such as heroes, standing up for injustice, kindness, inclusion, love, dignity, respect, tolerance, courageous advocates and being Agents of Change

  • Our EARA Group  has been established and impacts our projects through determining appropriate UNHCR ‘Rights of a child’ for each project. This helps build the idea that all are valued, protected and respected

  • ‘MyWildern’ suggestions giving our students, staff and parents an opportunity to share their school improvement ideas

 

Faith Inclusion and Everyday Practice

We recognise that inclusion must be reflected in practical, day-to-day provision, not just curriculum content.

To support this, we provide:

  • A Multi-Faith Prayer and Reflection Room available to all students

  • Adjustments during religious observance (e.g. Ramadan support, quiet spaces)

  • Consideration of faith and culture within teaching (e.g. RSE, PE)

  • Flexible approaches around key religious festivals

  • Inclusive catering options and themed cultural events

 

This ensures that students feel respected, supported and able to express their identity confidently within school.

Quotes

  • The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child

    “All children have all these rights, no matter who they are, where they live, what language they speak, what their religion is, what they look like, if they are a boy or girl, if they have a disability, if they are rich or poor, and no matter who their parents or families are or what their parents or families believe or do. No child should be treated unfairly for any reason.”
