EQUALITY STATEMENT
Love Life, Love Learning
We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully, and together celebrate their unique talents.
We tackle discrimination through the positive promotion of equality, by challenging bullying and stereotypes and by creating an environment which champions empathy and respect for all.
We believe that equality at our school should filter through all aspects of school life and is the responsibility of every member of the school and wider community.

Equality in Teaching and Learning
We provide all our pupils with the opportunity to succeed and to reach the highest level of personal achievement. We do this by:
Ensuring equality of access for all pupils and preparing them for life in a diverse society
Using materials that reflect the diversity of the school, population, and local community without stereotyping
Promoting attitudes and values that challenge any discriminatory behaviour or prejudice
Providing opportunities for pupils to appreciate their own culture and celebrate the diversity of other cultures
Seeking to involve all parents in supporting their child’s education
Utilising teaching approaches appropriate for the whole school population that are inclusive and reflective of our pupils.
Seek to remove barriers to learning and engagement that can hinder or exclude individual pupils, or groups of pupils - equal opportunity for all.
Equality in Admissions and Exclusions
Our admissions arrangements are fair and transparent - please view our Admissions page for more information.
Equality Opportunities for Staff
All staff appointments and promotions are made on the basis of merit and ability and in compliance with the law.
We are keen to ensure that the staffing of the school reflects the diversity of our community.
