Fioretti Trust
IDEA (Inclusivity, Diversity, Equity and Accessibility)
The Fioretti Trust IDEA Working Group was set up in May 2022 by Claire Grainger and Emma Washbourne, following an open invitation to all stakeholders.
The Trust has drawn on the skills of three parents, coincidentally representing each of the The Trust's schools. We are immensely grateful for their wisdom, experience and time. The Group agreed their vision as follows:
“A working party driving Fioretti Trust to provide learning environments that are inclusive, diverse, equitable and accessible so that every child is heard. To provide consistency for each child to reach their potential”.
The Group has developed an 'IDEA Toolkit' for use in its schools and most recently a Race Action Plan in conjunction with Rebbecca Hemmings of Strawberry Words. https://www.strawberrywordscourses.co.uk/about

New Horizons - Birmingham Choral Education Partnership
The Schools’ Choral Project, was offered by the Birmingham Choral Education Partnership, part of Handsworth St Mary’s Music, under the leadership of Khadeem Duncan-Bannerjee and his team. A number of diocesan schools were successfully involved in the recent project, with a particular focus on those serving diverse and deprived areas. The project aimed to have a particular impact on those children and schools who would not normally easily access extra-curricular music and choral tuition.
Fioretti were delighted that St Mary's CE Academy (Handsworth) took part in the project.

Stephen Lawrence Day 2023
All Key Stage 2 children across the Fioretti Trust completed reflective pieces of work based to mark the 30th anniversary since the murder of Stephen Lawrence. We completed work on role models and looked at the changes we want to see in the world. Please look at the video below for a taster of what work has been produced by the children across the trust.
