Equality and Diversity

No Outsiders

The No Outsiders programme promotes an ethos of inclusion and tolerance, and aims to prepare children for life in modern Britain and the characteristics protected by the Equality Act - such as sexual orientation and religion.

This is a core part of anti-bullying, British values and safeguarding 

We aim to ensures that pupils are happy and excited about living and learning in a community full of difference and diversity.

To ensure that our children are taught to live out these values, the school has adopted the 'No Outsiders in Our School' text based approach, through which our children learn about equality and diversity. This is one aspect of how we teach children about equality and diversity through the curriculum. 

Equality

The Equality Act 2010 requires schools to fulfil the following general duties:

1. To eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this act.

2. To advance equality of opportunity between persons who share relevant protected characteristics and persons who do not share it.

3. To foster good relations between persons who share relevant protected characteristics and persons who do not share it.
