PODCAST

If you have not yet heard our latest Podcast please listen to the episode here

Our third episode gives an insight about what it is like to be a DEI Ambassador at our school. The DEI Ambassadors share information about some of the exciting projects that they are undertaking, including the collaboration between the Performing Arts, PSHE and DEI departments to explore the themes within Hairspray the musical. Miss Burgess, our DEI Officer, speaks about the disability fashion design project that her team are working on, as well as their work with local charity Cherry Trees. We hope that you enjoy listening to this episode and gaining an insight into the work of the DEI team at St Teresa's.
