Moorlands Primary School 6.14 Support from our Media Students Throughout the academic year, some of the College’s Media and Film students supported the equality and diversity events by filming and/or photographing them, supported by their teacher, Gary Eastwood, a member of the Diversity Group. The support from our students is invaluable, and the work that our Media and Film students produced enabled us to develop the equality and diversity section of our website, to include footage of the various events. The developments to the website were highly commended in the Leaders in Diversity assessment, and we thank those students who gave up their time to contribute to the important work we do in relation to equality and diversity.
