Promoting Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

Our children and young people live in a diverse society and we recognise the importance of preparing children for life in modern Britain and promoting values that are an integral part of 21st century British society.

Intent

We want to embrace the wider ethos of the Lodge Farm Curriculum Statement of Intent. We aim to be in harmony with its principles of ‘providing the best for every child. Every child will find something to excel at!’

Here at Lodge Farm Primary School, we are committed to creating an environment for the whole school community that demonstrates the shared values of inclusion, equality, fairness and respect. We are also committed to the development of the whole child within a supportive, secure and creative environment. We work together with our children and young people, families and staff to ensure that inclusion and equality are part of all our activities.

Our policy aims to:

·       Promote positive attitudes and behaviour towards equality and diversity.

·       Promote an understanding of equality and diversity throughout the school curriculum and ethos.

·       Help the school to meet these aims and fulfil our legal obligations.

We are committed to meeting the statutory duties of the Equality Act 2010 and this policy includes information about how we will comply with our duties and also provides guidance about our approach to promoting equality and diversity.
