Equalities

Equality Information and Objectives

Euxton Primrose Hill is committed to the principle of equality for all pupils irrespective of race, religion, gender, language, disability or family background, and to the active support of initiatives designed to further this principle. We believe that equality is at the heart of good educational practice. All pupils are of equal value and deserve equal access to every aspect of school life.

The Equality Act 2010 requires us to publish information that demonstrates that we have due regard for the need to:

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

At Euxton Primrose Hill we are aware of the requirements of the Equality Act 2010 and understand that it is unlawful to discriminate and treat some people less fairly and to put them at a disadvantage. In order to ensure that we fully comply with the Equality Duty, we produce a 4 year plan and review this on an annual basis (See Single Equalities in the Policies section of the website for our latest review - September 2023). Compliance is however a minumum requirement and, at Euxton Primrose Hill Primary School, we always aim to go above and beyond this. We have therefore established our 'Equality Ambassadors', who ensure that Equality remains high profile in all our decision making throughout school and also that we do all we can to ensure that any barriers are removed for every member within our school community.
