Equality for all

Powick CE Primary School is committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all students, staff, parents, guardians or carers, irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, religion or socio-economic background.

We are proud of the diversity within our school community and have due regard to:

• eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation on any grounds
• advance equality of opportunity
• foster good relations and positive attitudes between all characteristics and different groups in all activities

Each year we publish a set of Equality Objectives which help us ensure that we are continuing to eliminate discrimination and create a culture where difference is valued.

The school follows advice from the Department of Education ‘The Equality Act 2010 and Schools’.

The Act makes it unlawful for the school to discriminate against, harass or victimize a pupil or potential pupil:

• In relation to admissions
• In the way it provides education for pupils
• In the way it provides pupils access to any benefit, facility or service or
• By excluding a pupil or subjecting them to any other detriment

This perspective is embedded in all our policies and practices to ensure discrimination and inequality are tackled appropriately. We also enhance equality through our school vision and values which form the culture and ethos of our school - 'Embracing Learning Together' as one community where everyone is treated with equal respect.
