Steps Taken to Eliminate Discrimination
and promote equality of opportunity for all
We believe that it is our responsibility to promote equality and diversity wider than the nine characteristics (areas) covered by legislation. We work to remove barriers and we will not unfairly discriminate on any grounds. Full details of our plan for 2021-2025 can be found in our Equality Objectives Grid.
Members of the school community effected by inequality
Our staff and governing body are fully representative of our local and surrounding communities. All members of the school community, governors, staff, pupils, parents and visitors all have a part to play in implementing the Equality Objectives and promoting diversity and equality across the school and nursery. We challenge inappropriate behaviour or practice to remove barriers and avoiding discrimination.
