Equality Statement
At Shirley Manor Primary Academy, we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity for all children, staff, parents and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, sexual orientation, age or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and ability to participate fully in school life.
We tackle discrimination through the positive promotion of equality, by challenging bullying and stereotypes and by creating an environment which champions respect for all.
At Shirley Manor Primary Academy, we believe that diversity should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit us.
Equality in Teaching and learning
We provide all our children with the opportunity to succeed and to reach the highest level of personal achievement. We do this by:
Equality in Admissions and Exclusions
Our admissions arrangements are fair and transparent and do not discriminate on the grounds of race, gender, religion, belief, disability and/or socio-economic background.
Equal Opportunities for Staff
All staff appointments and promotions are made on the basis of merit and ability and in compliance with the law. We are keen to ensure that the staffing of the school reflects the diversity of our city and encourage applicants from all backgrounds. See policy below.
