School away day 2023

30 May 2023

Academic and professional services staff recently spent a day away from the School in order to discuss the School's culture, focussing specifically on three main areas:

  • Research Culture
  • Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Culture
  • Workload Culture

After a few short presentations, staff were given topics to discuss in a round table setting and were encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas with the larger group at various points during the day.  After lunch there was a beach walk on West Sands and kite flying in the near by playing fields.  The afternoon concluded with a summary of the discussions.  

It was a very successful day that reinforced our values around school culture and led to many concrete suggestions on how to sustain and further improve the positive culture in our school.
