Becoming the best we can

Equalities

Our school aims to meet its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) by having due regard to the need to:
  • eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other unlawful conduct prohibited by the act
  • advance equality of opportunity between people who share and people who do not share a relevant protected characteristic
  • foster good relations between people who share and people who do not share a relevant protected characteristic
These are sometimes called the 3 aims of the duty.
The protected characteristics are:
Age
Disability
Gender reassignment
Pregnancy and maternity
Race
Religion or belief
Sex
Sexual orientation
Marriage or civil partnership (considered in relation to the first aim of the duty)
Our school aims to promote respect for difference and diversity in accordance with our six Christian values: honesty, forgiveness, service, hope, thankfulness and justice.
