Equality and Diversity

At Lenthall Infant and Nursery School, we define equality as treating everyone with equal dignity and worth, valuing individual characteristics such as age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion or beliefs, sexual orientation, and socio-economic circumstances. We acknowledge that individuals have unique needs, situations, and goals; thus, achieving equality involves removing discriminatory barriers that restrict what people—especially children and young people—can do and become.

We recognise that inequality can manifest in various ways, including differing outcomes, limited access to services, and the extent of independence in making life decisions. This can also involve unequal treatment in areas like employment, stemming from direct or indirect discrimination imposed by individuals, groups, institutions, or systems—whether intentionally or inadvertently.

Below is our policy for 'Equality and Diversity'.
