Equality And Diversity

We pride ourselves on being a welcoming and inclusive school.

For us, equality means that everyone is able to participate and feel welcome and safe in the activities of our school. 

We believe that equality is the responsibility of all members of the school and community and should extend to all aspects of school life.

At our school diversity means acknowledging that there are differences between people that should be recognised, respected and celebrated. We promote respect of each other’s differences and identities. We celebrate and raise awareness of diversity in the school and in the wider community and believe that teaching children about diversity prepares them for life in modern Britain. 

Protected Characteristics

Our school aims to meet its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) by having due regard to the need to:

Eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the Equality Act 2010

Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it

Foster good relations across all characteristics – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it


Below you will find a number of Newsround video clips which may help you learn more about diversity and equality:

Stamping out racism in football


Meet ten-year-old Balraj. He's Sikh and is football mad! But he has experienced racist abuse for playing the game he loves.

Balraj went to two different football camps in 2017 and 2018, where he was called names, grabbed, bullied and isolated by some of the other children there. At the time he felt very confused and sad, and didn't understand why people were being mean to him. He now knows that the other children were being racist, and Balraj has made it his mission to help stamp out racism in football.

This is his story.


Improving accessibility for those with disabilities


Frazer has been campaigning to make the world a better place for those with disabilities. 

He has been nominated for 2 awards due to his campaigns focusing on better equality and accessibility. 


Jobs and gender stereotyping

This Newsround report discusses what young people think about gender stereotyping 

Gender stereotyping is when simple generalisations are made about the attributes, behaviour or characteristics of a person based on whether they are a woman or a man. When children are told 'pink is for girls and blue is for boys', it's because of gender stereotyping. When you hear terms like 'female engineer' or 'male nurse', it's because of gender stereotyping.




Understanding Neurodiversity

Many members of our school and wider community are autistic or neurodivergent. 
We know there is much work to do in our society to ensure greater understanding of neurodiversity and we understand we have a role to play in this. 

If you or your child would like additional support in this area, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.

Watch this Newsround Special and meet Rosie who has autism.
