International Women's Day at King's Bruton...
Today (8th March) is International Women’s Day and we have been thinking about inspirational women all week.
On Monday, in a special International Women's Day Assembly, staff and pupils shared which women they admired and why they had chosen that particular woman. After Assembly, the whole school were then invited to write down the name of a woman they admire and why, on a card which has been displayed outside the dining room, so that when pupils are queueing up for meals they can read them. This has proved very successful, with a wide range of women being picked from sporting, political, historical, literature and musical genres. Pupils have also picked mothers, grandmothers, sisters and matrons as inspirational women in their lives.
Today there will be a special Chapel, with a visiting preacher, and then pupils will meet in their joint House Tutor groups to discuss the following questions which the EDI (Equality, Diversity & Inclusion) Committee have come up with:
