Equality Statement

Our commitment to equality.

At Winnall Primary School, we are committed to creating a community, which promotes equality in a positive environment, where there is a shared sense of belonging, within a culture of respect and cooperation. We believe that all pupils and members of staff should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential whatever barriers they face. We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010 as both a provider of education and as an employer. 

Our commitment to equality and diversity is a fundamental part of our drive towards excellence.

We understand the term equality to mean not that everyone should be treated the same, but that everyone should be treated fairly.

We recognise that everyone has individual needs and that they a right to have their needs respected.

We understand the term diversity to mean that whilst our backgrounds, knowledge, skills, aptitudes and experiences are all different, these differences should be valued and appreciated.

The Act sets out the Protected Characteristics - sex, race, disability, religion or belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, pregnancy or maternity.  At Winnall Primary School all children, parents/carers and staff will be treated with respect as part of our values as a school.
