Equality Duty and Objectives

At Chalkwell Infants, we seek to foster a caring and respectful environment, which allows us to question and challenge discrimination and inequality, resolve conflicts fairly and work and learn free from harassment and violence. We hope to prepare our learners for tomorrow’s world through committing to creating a community that recognises and celebrates difference within a culture of respect and co-operation. Our core ‘REACH’ values are the main focus of everyday life and promote a culture of equality and respect for all. 

Equality Statement

All members of our community, including staff and Governors are committed to promoting equality. This involves tackling the barriers which could lead to unequal outcomes for identified groups of pupils in school, ensuring there is equality of access and celebrating and valuing the heritage and strengths of the school community. We believe that equality at our school should permeate all aspects of school life and is the responsibility of every member of the school and wider community. Every member of the school community should feel safe, secure, valued and of equal worth. At Chalkwell Hall Infant School, equality is a key principle for treating all people the same irrespective of their gender, ethnicity, disability, religious beliefs/faith tradition, sexual orientation, age or any other recognised area of discrimination.

Chalkwell Hall Infant School is committed to meeting its public sector duties and acknowledges that we have a statutory duty to:

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation;

• Promote equality of access and opportunity within our school and within our wider community;

• Promote positive attitudes to difference and good relationships between people with different backgrounds, genders, cultures, faiths, abilities and ethnic origins.
