Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark
At New Bewerley Community School, we are excited to be one of the first schools in Leeds to register and start our work towards gaining the Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark (CCQM).
The principles that sit behind CCQM are ones which, through our ethos ‘Include, Create, Perform’, we believe in:
- to work together harmoniously;
- to recognise, appreciate and promote diversity;
- to strive towards equality and prevent discrimination.
As a school, we are working towards and aim to be culturally competent in all areas of school life.

This stifles opportunities and takes a heavy toll on people’s wellbeing, self-worth and happiness. As a school, we have the responsibility to give our pupils the opportunity to discuss and consider their own and other people’s thoughts and feelings, whilst in a safe environment. |

Shared ideas to promote exposure to move diverse cultures in school will take place in training sessions, working party meetings, open and honest discussion opportunities, as well as, through teaching and learning and literature. |
