Inglehurst Infant School Equality Statement

At Inglehurst Infant School, we are committed to promoting equality and diversity in all aspects of our school community. We adhere to the principles set out in the Equality Act 2010 and strive to create an inclusive environment where every child and staff member feels valued and respected.

Our Commitment to Equality:

Eliminating Discrimination

We actively work to eliminate discrimination, harassment, and victimisation within our school. This includes implementing policies and practices that promote fairness and equality for all, regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, and sexual orientation.

Advancing Equality of Opportunity

We ensure that all pupils have equal access to educational opportunities and resources. This involves identifying and addressing any barriers that may prevent pupils from achieving their full potential. We provide tailored support to meet the diverse needs of our pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Fostering Good Relations: We promote a culture of respect and understanding within our school community. Through our curriculum and extracurricular activities, we encourage pupils to appreciate diversity and develop positive relationships with their peers. We also engage with parents, carers, and the wider community to support our commitment to equality.

Implementation and Monitoring:

Policies and Procedures

Our school policies, including our Equality Policy, Behaviour Policy, and Anti-Bullying Policy, reflect our commitment to equality and are regularly reviewed to ensure they remain effective and up-to-date.

Training and Development: Staff receive ongoing training on equality and diversity to ensure they are equipped to support our inclusive ethos. This includes training on recognising and challenging discrimination and promoting positive behaviour.

Monitoring and Evaluation

We regularly monitor and evaluate our practices to ensure compliance with the Equality Act 2010. This includes collecting and analysing data on pupil achievement, attendance, and behaviour to identify and address any disparities.

By embedding these principles into our daily practices, Inglehurst Infant School aims to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where every member of our community can thrive.
