Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at Leven CE Primary School
At Leven CE Primary School we believe that all children should receive equal access to the full school curriculum and wider school experience regardless of first language, disability, race, gender, cultural or socio-economic background. We believe that every child has the right to equality of outcome and to achieve their full potential. In order to achieve this we use positive action and reasonable adjustments to ensure all stakeholders have an equal chance to achieve, participate and fulfil their roles in school and the wider community. We welcome all responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010. Our Equality Policy follows Local Authority recommendations.
At Leven CE Primary School, we celebrate diversity by learning about a broad range of historical and current figures in all walks of life. This provides the opportunity to see a wide range of humanity, see people to which they can aspire that are similar to themselves and develop tolerance and understanding of people with different beliefs, religions, genders, abilities and sexual orientations.
The school is committed to providing equality of opportunity for all irrespective of:
- Age

At Leven CE Primary School we aim to promote equality and develop positive relationships by tackling any forms of discrimination. As part of our duty under the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty we aim to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations in relation to the protected characterstics.
Equality Objectives
The Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requires all schools to publish specific and measurable equality objectives. Our equality objectives are based on our analysis of data and other information. Our equality objectives focus on those areas where we have agreed to take action to improve equality and tackle disadvantages.
We will regularly review the progress we are making to meet our equality objectives.
