The Spires Federation aims to promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development, with special emphasis on promoting equality, diversity and eradicating prejudicial incidents for pupils and staff. Our Federation is committed to not only eliminating discrimination, but also increasing understanding and appreciation for diversity.
