Equality Statement

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 Willington Primary School we see all our children as having the right to the best education possible. We believe that all children should be able to fulfil their potential and we work with our children, families and external agencies to make sure this happens.

Equality Statement

We are committed to the development of cohesive communities both within our school’s physical boundaries and within our local, national and global environments. Our school embraces the aim of working together with others to improve children’s educational and well-being outcomes. You can view our policy and objectives here.

The Equality Act 2010 was introduced to ensure protection from discrimination, harassment and victimisation on the grounds of specific characteristics (referred to as protected characteristics). This means that schools cannot discriminate against pupils or treat them less favourably because of their sex (gender), race, disability, religion or belief, gender reassignment, sexual orientation or pregnancy or maternity.

The Act introduced requires all schools to comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty and two specific duties.

Public Sector Equality Duty requires us a school to:

  • Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation Advance equality of opportunity between different groups
  • Foster good relations between different groups

The Two “specific duties” requires us to:

  • Publish information to show compliance with the Equality Duty
  • Publish Equality Objectives at least every 4 years which are specific and measurable

The action plan and statement demonstrate these two specific duties.

We recognise that these duties reflect international human rights standards as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, and the Human Rights Act 1998.

No Outsiders

In Willington Primary school, there are no outsiders. We are all different and we know that this is something that should be celebrated!

As a school it is our intent to adopt the ‘No Outsiders’ ethos in all aspects of life; with our children, in communication with parents and in our wider Willington community. ‘No Outsiders’ is a programme which aims to educate children about diversity within our communities and addresses issues such as sexism, ageism, race and different types of families.
