At Olive Academies, we recognise that true inclusion is an ongoing journey that requires reflection, accountability and action. We continue to review our progress against these objectives, celebrate success where positive change is evident and identify new opportunities for improvement. We are building a culture where diversity is celebrated and everyone feels empowered to contribute. We intend to ensure that equality, equity, diversity and inclusion are not only embedded in our policies but lived out in every classroom, decision and relationship across our academies.
