Congratulations to Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School who have been recognised nationally for their commitment to improving race equality and prioritising an inclusive culture where staff, students, parents andpartners of  all  ethnicities are equally valued, by being awarded the silver level RACE Chartermark.

Developed by SSAT (the  Schools,  Students  and  Teachers  network) and  Fig  Tree  International,   the Race and Conscious Equality (RACE) Charter Mark is for schools, academies and  colleges,  both in  the  state  and  private  sectors, in  the  UK  who  wish  to  demonstrate  their commitment  to  action  and  improvement  in  relation  to  race  equality in  all  aspects  of  their  work  as educators,  employers  and  community  leaders.

Since achieving the bronze chartermark in July 2023 Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School have used the chartermark framework to conduct a thorough review of practice and progressed implementation of actions set out in their original submission.

They have demonstrated their ongoing commitment to training and development in this area and re-submitted an evaluation detailing their work towards equality so far and ambitious plans for RACE going forward. On this basis moderators are delighted to award Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School the silver level RACE Chartermark.
