We are dedicated to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all across our school communities. We support children to be the best they can be irrespective of gender, race, faith or religion, disability, or socio-economic background - in line with the Equality Act, 2010. 

 

Through our school values and design of our curriculum, we strive to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school celebrate difference. Children at our schools feel proud of their identity and are able to participate fully in school life. A wide range of opportunities are provided to enable children to shine and be the best they can be.
