Equal opportunities

 We are committed to promoting equality in Carswell Community Primary School. This involves tackling the barriers which could lead to unequal outcomes so there is equality of access and the diversity within the school community is celebrated and valued.

 We believe that equality should permeate all aspects of life and is the responsibility of every member of the school and wider community. Every member of the school community should feel safe, secure, valued and of equal worth.

 At the Carswell Community Primary School equality is a key principle for treating all people the same irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religious beliefs/faith tradition, sexual orientation, age or any other of the protected characteristics (Equality Act 2010).

 We are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life.

We tackle discrimination through the positive promotion of equality, by challenging bullying and stereotypes and by creating an environment which champions respect for all.
