Equality at Our School
We are committed to creating a school community where everyone is valued, respected and treated fairly. In line with the Equality Act 2010, we do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or victimisation, and we work hard to ensure that every pupil, member of staff and family feels welcome and included.
At Stephenson Way Academy and Nursery School, we treat everyone equally and fairly regardless of...
Our approach to equality is reflected in the aims and objectives we set for our school. We are proud to work towards the following:
· To improve staff subject knowledge of different religions, faiths and cultures, that are prevalent within the local community and further afield to strengthen the teaching of fundamental British Values.
· To implement teaching pedagogy that allows pupils to engage in controversial issues linked to race, religion, culture, sexuality, sexual orientation and identity in a balanced, respectful manner.
· To ensure that there is equality in who and what is studied in our curriculum, with stereotypes actively challenged through positive representation.
· To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experiences both in and beyond the school.
· To ensure all pupils, regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, religious beliefs, faith tradition, age or any other protected characteristic, achieve the highest possible standards in their learning and make strong progress relative to their starting points.
· To promote spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through all appropriate curricular opportunities, with particular reference to issues of equality and diversity.
Equality is everyone’s responsibility. We want all pupils to feel confident, safe and supported, and to know that their individuality is respected. By working together, we can build a school where fairness, kindness and belonging are at the heart of everything we do.
