Diversity and Inclusion

Helston Community College is a proudly inclusive community. We teach a wide range of topics within The College Day that promote equality, diversity and inclusion. This section of our website provides information which can be used at home by parents, carers and students to further explore the topics studied in The College. This page will be updated regularly with news, resources and ideas to explore at home. This will change regularly to support the work we are doing in The College and Diversity celebration events that take place throughout the year.
