Soham Village College is committed to the promotion of diversity and equality in everything we do.  In order to create a fair and just society, we want our school community to champion social inclusion and equality, respecting diversity, challenging discrimination and acting upon all forms of inequality.

Soham Village College works actively to celebrate diversity and challenge racism, sexism, homophobia and all other forms of prejudice.

We believe the best way to help our students to maximise their abilities and interests is to create a welcoming, inclusive and diverse environment where they can be themselves.  We are continually working to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to achieve the best of their ability regardless of their gender, racial background, religion, ability or sexuality.  The school takes positive action to promote racial harmony and positive attitudes towards life in a multi-cultural and multi-ethnic school, through assemblies, the curriculum, extra-curricular and special projects throughout the year.

Anti-Racist School Award

In September 2024 the college was awarded the Anti-Racist School Award by the Centre for Race, Educational & Decoloniality. This national award recognises the work being done at the college in this field through participation in the student's group (SVC Diversity), talks by parents, changes in the curriculum/school policies and a commitment overall to ensure that all our learners from all backgrounds feel a part of our school community.
