The CDQS or Cultural Diversity Quality Standard recognises and celebrates the excellent work done by many schools to promote cultural diversity and race equality. It recognises that Schools have a critical role to play in developing community cohesion and ensuring that pupils leave school prepared to live in a culturally diverse society.

The criteria for the Quality Standard was created with a number of headteachers from schools around the country and with representatives from the Stephen Lawrence Trust and the National Governors’ Association. Avonbourne School has achieved the gold standard in recognition of all the great work within this area. Contact Mr Holbrook for more information or visit this site.
