At an event in the past week the Gateway Academy in Tilbury commemorated its rich diversity through its second annual 'Culture Day'.

Students and staff arrived in their traditional dress.

A statement from the school said: "Collaborating with members of Year 7 and 9, the Student Leadership Team orchestrated a remarkable occasion for students and staff to express their individuality and share different aspects of their cultures with their peers.

"The students showcased their heritage by adorning themselves in traditional attire or incorporating the colours of flags that represented their backgrounds.

"Additionally, they took charge of organising and preparing food for both the break and lunch periods, with the invaluable assistance of our dedicated staff.

"The day featured vibrant activities such as face painting, Henna-inspired tattoos, and a captivating catwalk where students proudly exhibited their unique outfits.

"The event was an exuberant celebration filled with music, delectable cuisine, and lively dancing.

"We take great pride in the unity displayed by our students, as they come together to acknowledge and appreciate how each individual contributes to making the Gateway Academy family an exceptional and welcoming community."
