Equality

Equality Statement

At Ambergate Primary School, we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents, and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, sexual orientation, age or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity 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 that champions respect for all.

At Ambergate Primary School, we believe that diversity is a strength that should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit us.

Equality in Teaching and learning

We provide all our pupils with the opportunity to succeed and to reach the highest level of personal achievement. We do this by:

  • Ensuring equality of access for all pupils and preparing them for life in a diverse society
  • Using materials that reflect the diversity of the school, population and local community without stereotyping
  • Promoting attitudes and values that challenge any discriminatory behaviour or prejudice
  • Providing opportunities for pupils to appreciate their own culture and celebrate the diversity of other cultures
  • Seeking to involve all parents in supporting their child’s education
  • Utilising teaching approaches appropriate for the whole school population which are inclusive and reflective of our pupils.

Equality in Admissions and Exclusions

Our admissions arrangements are fair and transparent and do not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, religion, belief, disability and/or socio-economic background.

Equal Opportunities for Staff

All staff appointments and promotions are made on the basis of merit and ability and in compliance with the law. We are keen to ensure that the staffing of the school reflects society. 

 

In order to achieve the above, we have set the following equality objectives in our three-year strategic plan:

 

  • Pupils are knowledgeable about other cultures and religions and are able to empathise with people from other backgrounds.
  • Pupils in school from different faith backgrounds or ethnicity feel valued and respected in school.
  • Boys attainment increases.

So that pupils are tolerant of difference and diversity, we aim to:

  • Invite parents/volunteers to assemblies or classes to share their belief systems and practices.
  • Develop displays in the library and around school to reflect different faiths & cultures in Britain.
