Collecting and publishing Governing Board Diversity data
The Bentley Wood Trust has carried out the diversity audit and we celebrate the diversity of our Board, under the majority of the nine characteristics surveyed. Although, not an exact parallel of the school community we serve, we believe the Board promotes an inclusive environment and celebrates diverse role models for staff, parents, carers and students in our school communities.
Disclaimer: Due to the small governing body, we do not disclose this diversity data online. As individual governors could be identified, and we have a legal obligation to protect their personal data.
