Equality and Diversity

Promoting Equality and Diversity

At North Leamington School we firmly believe in providing an inclusive curriculum which supports children with opportunities to develop their own views and values.

Our Curriculum Aim

To provide a broad, balanced and exciting curriculum that:

  • enables all our students to be successful and make good progress
  • promotes the development of values, moral purpose, physical and mental wellbeing in an ethical and diverse environment
  • prepares students for future opportunities, responsibilities

As set out in the DfE guidance on the Equality Act, the school aims to advance equality of opportunity by:

  • Removing or minimising disadvantages suffered by people which are connected to a particular characteristic they have
  • Taking steps to meet the particular needs of people who have a particular characteristic
  • Encouraging people who have a particular characteristic to participate fully in any activities (such as encouraging all students to be involved in the full range of school societies and leadership opportunities)

We celebrate Equality and Diversity and aim to develop students respect for each other including their protected characteristics
