At Colburn Community Primary School, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive environment where every pupil is valued and given the opportunity to thrive. This statement outlines our approach to equality and our specific objectives aimed at enhancing the educational experience for all.
Equality Information & Objectives Policy
In accordance with the Equality Act 2010, we aim to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations among all members of our school community. We engage with pupils, parents, staff, and the local community to ensure that our practises reflect the needs and aspirations of those we serve.
We will ensure compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty by regularly reviewing and publishing our equality objectives.
Our approach to equality is based on the following key principles:
- To ensure that all learners have equal access to a rich, broad, balanced and relevant curriculum.
- To advance equality of opportunity by ensuring that teaching, learning and the curriculum promote equality, celebrate diversity and promote community cohesion by fostering good relations.
- To eliminate any discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
- To ensure that no-one is unfairly or illegally disadvantaged as a consequence of their age, disability, gender, gender-identity, sexual orientation, colour, race, ethnic or national origin, disability or religious beliefs.
- To ensure that this policy is applied to all we do.
- To ensure that pupils and parents are fully involved in the provision made by the school.
- To ensure that within the school budget, adequate funding is provided to underpin this policy and that intervention, positive and preventative action is funded where necessary.
