Mrs. Bateson works closely with Mrs. Greenwood and Mrs. Wyatt and the pupil voice groups in school to provide opportunities for children to extent their personal development beyond PSHE lessons and into wider school life. She is the Diversity Defenders leader.

The Diverity Defenders lead special campaigns and teach the rest of the school about different National and International days and celebrations throughout the year.
