YELLOW FLAG WEEK
This week we celebrate Equality and Diversity in BCS as part of our Yellow Flag Programme.
The programme aims to support schools to become more inclusive of all cultures and ethnicities, celebrate diversity and challenge racism and discrimination.
As part of our endeavour to celebrate diversity and inclusion, we have created a Yellow Flag wall in our school which includes our Diversity Tree, information about our Yellow Flag Committee and facts about some Inspirational People.
