These duties reflect our core aims and values.

We are committed to:

• promoting equality of opportunity
• promoting good relations between members of different racial, cultural and religious groups and

communities

• eliminating unlawful discrimination

The policy sets out our commitment to tackle discrimination whether direct or indirect, individual or institutional and promoting equality of opportunity and good relations across all areas of school activities, including our dealing with parents and the community.

At Locking Primary School we will continuously strive to ensure that everyone in our school is treated with respect and dignity. Each person in our school will be given fair and equal opportunities to develop their full potential with positive regard to gender, ethnicity, cultural and religious background, age, sexuality or disability.

The school is committed to promoting good relations between persons of different groups and avoiding discrimination, whether direct or indirect. The school will actively promote equality, oppose discrimination in all its forms and foster positive attitudes, respect, equality and partnership as we work with pupils, parents, carers and the wider community.
