Our Athena SWAN Commitment
"As School Clinical Director, I will ensure that the Athena SWAN Action Plan maintains a very high priority within the future development and organisation of SCS and that the School’s strategy will fully embrace the principles of the Athena SWAN charter. To reinforce this, the VOICE chair is a full member of the SCS Management Board, the Athena SWAN Action Plan implementation is a permanent agenda item, and I have committed resources for implementation. I am determined that all SCS staff support the development of a true culture of gender equality. Embracing the Athena SWAN charter is a critical step in realising our vision of a world-class school where everyone achieves their full potential."
