Awards

Global Neighbours Gold Award

Blue Coat is proud to have achieved the Global Neighbours Gold Award, recognising our commitment to living out our Christian vision through global citizenship, courageous advocacy and serving others. Awarded by Christian Aid and the Church of England Education Office, the Gold Award celebrates schools that inspire young people to challenge injustice, embrace diversity and make a positive difference both locally and globally.

The assessment praised the way our Christian vision, Living life in all its fullness John 10:10, is woven throughout every aspect of school life, alongside the opportunities our students have to engage with issues of equality, sustainability, peace, inclusion and social justice. It also recognised the significant role our curriculum, collective worship and student leadership play in developing compassionate, informed and courageous global citizens.

Pride Group of the Year

Blue Coat is incredibly proud that our Pride Group has been named Pride Group of the Year by Just Like Us, the UK's LGBT+ young people's charity. The award recognises schools that empower students to lead positive change and create inclusive environments where every young person feels safe, valued and able to thrive.

Our award winning Pride Group was recognised for placing student voice at the heart of school life. Working alongside staff, members have helped shape our PSHE curriculum, promote inclusion, encourage respectful language, and champion a culture where everyone feels a true sense of belonging.

Congratulations to every member of our Pride Group on this outstanding achievement. We could not be prouder.
