At Alameda Middle School we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of race, gender, disability, religion and belief, 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 able to participate fully in school life. The achievement of pupils will be monitored by ethnicity, gender and disability and we will use this data to support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching. We will tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes and creating an environment that champions respect for all.

In this respect:

• We ensure that everyone in school is treated fairly and with respect.
• We recognise that people have different needs and that treating people equally does not always involve treating everyone in exactly the same way.
• We ensure that school is a safe place for everyone.
• We consult with a range of people and groups and involve them in our decision-making.
• We recognise that all individuals at some time may need specific support and encouragement to meet their full potential.

The School is bound by the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) of the Equality Act 2010 which requires us to publish information that demonstrates that we have due regard for the need to:

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Act;
• Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it;
• Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
• Consulting and involving those affected by inequality, in the decisions that the school takes to promote equality and eliminate discrimination-affected people could include parents/carers, pupils, staff and members of the local comunity

We strive to make sure that no individual at Alameda Middle School experiences less favourable treatment or discrimination because of the protected characteristics listed in the 2010 Equality Act:

• Age
• Sex
• Race
• Disability
• Religion or belief
• Sexual orientation
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage and civil partnership
• Pregnancy or maternity

In order to ensure that all pupils and staff are protected from discrimination, the school collects information on protected characteristics.

The school takes reasonable steps to ensure that policies, practices and physical features do not create barriers for individuals with a protected characteristic who may want to access the school’s services.
