Equalities
Gee Cross Holy Trinity Primary School is committed to equality. We try to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and has equality of opportunity. We also work to develop good relations between people from different groups. We recognise that in wider society, people are not always treated fairly. We try to make sure that our school is a safe and secure place for everyone. We do not tolerate unfair treatment of any kind.
We recognise that people have different needs and we understand that treating people equally does not always involve treating them all the same. When people face particular difficulties they may need extra support to help them achieve success and we try to do this for people in our school community.
We also try to make sure that people from different groups are consulted and involved in our decisions, for example through talking to pupils and families.
Public bodies, including local authority maintained schools, are covered by the public sector equality duty in the Equality Act 2010. We are asked to set equality objectives and to make sure we review our progress every year and let people know how we are getting on.
