Cox Green has the values of being kind, being respectful and being determined. This is particularly shown through the numerous ways that we aim to include all students, staff and wider members of our community. We are a diverse school which mirrors the multi-cultural and multi-faith world we live in today. We want to encourage all our students to develop their talents and interests and thrive in the world and this includes celebrating and nurturing differences whilst including all. It is an area of school life that is often praised by students and parents.
We have groups that celebrate and support students around race, sexuality and gender, SEND, wellbeing, bullying, leadership, student voice, DofE, Sport, Music, Drama as well as academic areas of life.
Our PD program includes assemblies, tutor time and sessions and our broader curriculum aims to educate and equip students to have an open mind so that they are kind and respectful to all and are determined to support others when difficulties arise. Students will therefore look at Protected Characteristics and British Values in all year groups in different ways to ensure that they appreciate and celebrate difference and include all in our community.
