We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010. The aim of which is to:

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under the Act
• Advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it;
• Foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it

Within this we consider how the Academy develops its approach to equality and diversity for all our pupils, staff and their parents and carers across all strands. 

Staff

As well as delivering high quality services to its pupils, the Academy is also committed to being a good employer and as such we consider how we meet our varied duties in terms of recruitment and employment practices.

Pupils

Teaching children about equalities, rights and difference is an important part of our approach to developing our pupils into tolerant and caring individuals. We aim for our children to be 'good people' - and in order to do that, they must be able and willing to recognise, understand and embrace difference. Our PSHE curriculum, encompassing our approach to Relationships and Sex Education, is key in delivering this mission - as part of our wider ethos and the values which we promote.
