      Published 16/12/25

      Congratulations to Carshalton High School for Girls School who have been recognised nationally for their commitment to improving race equality and prioritising an inclusive culture where staff, students, parents and partners of all ethnicities are equally valued, by being awarded the Silver level RACE Charter Mark.

      Developed by SSAT (the Schools, Students and Teachers network) and Fig Tree International, the Race and Conscious Equality (RACE) Charter Mark is for schools, academies and colleges, both in the state and private sectors, in the UK who wish to demonstrate their commitment to action and improvement in relation to race equality in all aspects of their work as educators employers and community leaders.

      To achieve the Charter Mark Carshalton High School for Girls School completed a comprehensive package of training for governors, senior leaders and middle leaders, and submitted an evaluation detailing their work towards equality so far and an action plan pledging their commitment to ongoing development in this area.

      Angelina Idun, Director of Education, SSAT said: 

      “I am delighted that Carshalton High School for Girls School has been awarded the Silver RACE Charter Mark. Their application and action plan clearly show a positive ethos and culture which champions and strives for conscious equality and inclusivity throughout the school community. We look forward to continuing to work with the school to see their strategic vision fully realised.”

      Ann Palmer, CEO, Fig Tree International said:

      “I am absolutely delighted that Carshalton High School for Girls School is receiving this recognition. This recognises their determination to make a difference, not only in their own school, but also in the local community. Carshalton High School for Girls School has joined a great group of schools and colleges who are part of the RACE Charter Mark community. We applaud them for their work and aspirations to build a more inclusive society.”

    • Fast Fashion House Competition

      Published 01/12/25

      As part of our commitment to sustainability, we have launched a Fast Fashion House Competition and are asking families to donate good-quality, pre-loved clothing to support the initiative.

      The aim is to take a stand against fast fashion by re-homing clean, undamaged items—clothes must be clean, with no holes, broken zips, or missing buttons.

      All donations will contribute to each house’s total, and after the competition, students will be able to choose up to three free second-hand items, with the number increasing if donations allow.

      Please send in any suitable clothing by Tuesday 9th December, with redistribution taking place after school on Tuesday 9th December. Thank you for supporting this sustainable project and helping us make a positive impact within our community.

      Thank You – We Raised £550 for Macmillan Cancer Support!

      Today our school marked the annual Macmillan Coffee Morning – though in our case it was all about the cake! Parents, carers and staff kindly donated a fantastic selection of cakes, which our students were able to purchase throughout the day.

      Events like this show the power of our community spirit. Thank you to everyone who baked, bought, and supported — you’ve made a real difference. A massive thank you to our Sixth Form leadership team who kindly organised the event.

      From all of us at Carshalton Girls, thank you for making our Macmillan fundraiser such a success!
