Equality

Equal Opportunity Statement

We are committed to the implementation of equal opportunities principles and the monitoring and active promotion of equality in all aspects of staffing and employment.

All staff appointments and promotions are made on the basis of merit and ability and in compliance with the law. We also strive to ensure wherever possible that the staffing of the school reflects the diversity of our community.

As an employer we aim to ensure that we eliminate discrimination and harassment in our employment practice and actively promote equality across all groups within our workforce.

Schools are required to publish information which is updated annually showing how they comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty and to set at least one equality objective every 4 years.  The need to advance equality of opportunity is defined in the Equality Act 2010 as having due regard to the need to:

1. Remove or minimise disadvantages.
2. Take steps to meet different needs.
3. Encourage participation when it is disproportionately low.

Details on how we comply with the public sector equality duty can be found in the Great Learners Trust Equality Statement. Please click the link to read the GLT Equality Policy.
