Equality and Diversity

Staff and Governors at Marwood Primary School are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all within our school community.

One of our school values is "respectful consideration". We encourage a sense of belonging and responsibility towards each other and endeavour to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity.

We aim to meet our obligations by ensuring equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not share it, irrespective of any protected characteristic. *

* Protected characteristic, defined as: age; disability; religion or belief; race, nationality or ethnicity; sexual orientation; gender, or gender reassignment; or marital status, pregnancy or on maternity leave.
