We believe that the Equality Act 2010 provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. It also ensures that we continue to tackle issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups.

We recognise that these duties reflect international human rights standards as expressed in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the UN Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities, and the Human Rights Act 1998.

The Public Sector Equality Duty or “general duty” 

This requires all public organisations, including schools to:

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation;
• Advance equality of opportunity between different groups;
• Foster good relations between different groups.

We expect all members of the school community and visitors to support our commitment to promoting equalities and meeting the requirements of the Equality Act. We will provide training, guidance and information to enable them to do this.

At Bond Primary School we agree to treat everyone equally & fairly, regardless of: 

• Age
• Gender
• Disability
• Race and Nationality
• Religion or Belief
• Pregnancy
• Marriage & Civil Partnership
• Transgendered Identity
• Sexual Orientation

At Bond Primary School we believe that diversity is a strength which should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit us.
