Public bodies, including local-authority-maintained schools, are covered by the public sector equality duty in the Equality Act 2010.
As part of our duties we publish:
- an Equalities Information profile of our school based upon the protected characteristics of the Equality Act 2010 – this is updated and published every year
- our school’s Equality Objectives – these are reviewed annually and updated at least once every 4 years
- for further information please view or download our Equalities Policy and Equalities Information and Objectives Policy in the School Policies section of our website.
At Bearpark Primary School, we respect each other’s age, class, gender, gender reassignment, disabilities, health needs, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy, race and nationality, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation and size.
Ofsted recognises that a whole school approach to tackling homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and ingrained attitudes in schools is a Best Practice approach. This is why we are working with Pride in EDI to embed diversity and inclusion in our school
