Equality Objectives

We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010 as both a provider of education and as an employer.

We believe that all pupils and members of staff should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential whatever their background, identity and circumstances. We are committed to creating a community that recognises and celebrates difference within a culture of respect and co-operation. We appreciate that a culture which promotes equality will create a positive environment and a shared sense of belonging for all who work, learn and use the services of our school. We recognise that equality will only be achieved by the whole school community working together – our pupils, staff, governors and parents/carers.

Within our school, it is essential that, through guidance given in the Equality Act 2010, our school is:

• Eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation
• Advancing equality of opportunity between those who share protected characteristics and those who don't 
• Consulting and involving those affected by inequality, in decisions you're taking to promote equality and eliminate discrimination 

Equality Statement

The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 require Governing Bodies to publish equality objectives at intervals of no more than four years but schools should publish detail on progress towards these objectives on an annual basis and publish this detail on the school’s internet site- these are within the policy.
