Diversity & Equality
Our School
St Anne’s R.C Primary School is committed to providing high quality teaching and learning for our pupils. We recognise that by valuing and promoting equal opportunities in employment for all employees and job applicants ,and avoiding unlawful discrimination in employment and delivery of services, we will be able to deliver first class education.
Aims
We aim to create a working environment in which all individuals are able to make best use of their skills, free from discrimination or harassment, and in which all decisions are based on merit. We also value diversity and recognise the varied contributions that a diverse workforce brings to an organisation; we are committed to drawing on different perspectives and experiences of individuals which will add value to what we do.
We will ensure that we do not discriminate against staff on the basis of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation (the protected characteristics).
The principles of non-discrimination also apply to how we expect our staff to treat colleagues, pupils, parents and carers, visitors, clients, customers, suppliers and former staff regardless of whether the legal protection of having a protected characteristic applies.
Our Objectives
At St Anne's we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers, irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, religion or socio-economic background.
In order to further support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching, we have set the following objectives:

2. To enrich and innovate the curriculum offer for all children with SEND
3. To regularly review the health and well-being of staff through questionnaires, appraisal support and supervision
4. To review levels of parental and pupil engagement in learning and school life, across all activities to ensure equity and fairness in access and engagement
