School Statement on Equality
Our school is committed to equality as both an employer and a service provider:
• We try to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
• We want to make sure that our school is a safe, secure and stimulating place for children and staff.
• We recognise that people have different needs, and we understand that treating people equally does not always involve treating them all exactly the same.
• We recognise that for some pupils, extra support is needed to help them to achieve and be successful.
• We try to make sure that people from different groups are consulted and involved in our decisions, for example through talking to pupils and parents, and through our School Council, our Equal, Different, Included team, our Rights Respecting School team, our Eco team, our House Ambassadors, our Food Forum team and our Wellbeing team.
• We aim to make sure that no-one experiences harassment, less favourable treatment or discrimination because of their age; any disability they may have; their ethnicity, colour or national origin; their gender; their gender identity or reassignment; their marital or civil partnership status; being pregnant or having recently had a baby; their religion or beliefs; their sexual identity and orientation.
Aims
We welcome our general duty under the Equality Act 2010 to;
• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 201

• Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
