Equality

At St Mary's, we believe that diversity is a strength which should be respected & celebrated by all those who learn, teach & visit here. Our school is a Church of England Primary School & as a result, we are proud to welcome children from all backgrounds, abilities, races & religions.

Working in partnership with our parents & carers, we provide a happy, stimulating environment rooted in Christian values. All are cared for & nurtured spiritually, morally, intellectually, physically, socially & emotionally.

Under the Equality Act 2010, we welcome our General Duty to:

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment & victimisation & any other conduct prohibited by The Equality Act 2010;
• Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic & people who do not share it;
• Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic & people who do not share it.

Policies to support us in achieving our responsibilities in our Equality Duty are available here & we evaluate what we have achieved against the Equality Act General Duty on an annual basis.
