At St. Augustine’s, we are committed to promoting Racial Justice, Equality, and Diversity (RJED) across all aspects of learning. Our subject leaders and classroom teachers actively seek opportunities to make meaningful links to RJED within their planning, helping and enabling pupils to understand its relevance throughout the curriculum.

In Religious Education lessons, pupils explore different depictions of Jesus, Mary, and other religious figures from around the world, as well as a variety of religious festivals. They also learn about different places of worship from other faiths, such as synagogues and mosques, in line with the topic 'Dialogue and Encounter' in Branch 6 of the Religious Education curriculum. Music, Art, our school library books and focus texts in English lessons further support pupils in understanding and celebrating cultural diversity. In Science, pupils learn about a wide range of scientists from diverse backgrounds, helping them see the contributions of people from all cultures and communities.

Through these opportunities, children develop empathy, respect and an appreciation for different perspectives, helping them grow as socially aware, inclusive and thoughtful members of society.
