Yes if the mission or values page leads with identity and “equity,” not knowledge. “Diversity, inclusion, belonging, decolonise, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ affirming” appear in the first screen of About / Vision / Ethos; subject excellence or meritocratic ambition is secondary or missing.
No published material on gender identity overriding sex in language, toilets, sport or records.
WO2 · Identity branding
NoYes if protected-characteristic branding is house style. Rainbow lanyards, Progress flags, “pronouns in bio,” and staff email signatures with she/they are default on the public site and official social accounts, not limited to a one-day awareness post.
No published social-transition pathway or pastoral guidance.
WO3 · Sex/gender interchangeability
NoYes if sex and gender are treated as interchangeable in policy. Behaviour, uniform, toilets, sport, or trips documents say pupils may use facilities or teams “matching gender identity,” with no parallel sentence protecting single-sex provision.
No race or equality policy text framing Britain or the school as structurally racist.
Yes if a published “trans inclusion” or “affirmation” toolkit sits in the policies list, while there is no equally prominent sex-based safeguarding note.
No curriculum or ethos material on migration as colonial redress.
WO5 · Activist education
NoYes if curriculum pages advertise activism as learning: “decolonising the curriculum,” “white privilege,” “lived experience as evidence,” or compulsory anti-racism training announced as a moral upgrade.
No climate or net-zero statements presented as moral duty.
Yes if recruitment and governor ads require DEI allegiance. Check vacancies pages and the school’s LinkedIn company and jobs listings.
No RSE or pastoral pages referencing toxic masculinity.
Yes if the calendar and social media over the past 12 months are campaign-led (Pride Month, Trans Day of Visibility, slogan work year-round).
No hate-speech, inclusion or social-media policies shown.
Yes if speech and “hate” policies list misgendering or “denying identity” as harm, but do not protect sex-realist belief.
Safeguarding section listed but contains no identity-affirmation priority over sex-based safeguards.

WO9 · External consultants
NoYes if partners are one-sided (Stonewall, Mermaids, Diversity Role Models, BLM-branded groups) with no viewpoint-diverse counterparts.
No staff code, recruitment or EDI requirement for ideological allegiance. From “Welcome to Haggerston School”: “Spring Edition 2024 Social Follow Us @HaggerstonSch - September 7 Haggerston School Open Events 2026 We are delighted to welcome you to our open events in September and October.”
WO10 · Experiential authority
NoYes if “lived experience” or microaggression reporting is treated as settled authority, with no mechanism to challenge the framework.
No SEND or wellbeing pages inviting clinical or identity labels for ordinary distress.
