Our school is a melting point in terms of the various cultures, languages and ethnicities that make up our wonderful school community. Our motto is 'in diversity is strength', and whilst this multi-culturalism is something we are extremely proud of, it can and does lead to a number of challenges. For example, low English competency levels and lack of cultural capital means we have to work extremely hard to equip our pupils with the necessary skills in order to succeed in the wider world; therefore, I wanted to get involved with the Accelerator plus programme to facilitate this development.
