Equality Duty
We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010.
We have due regards for the need to:
- Eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the act.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share protected characteristics and people who do not share it.
- Foster good relations across all characteristics between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it.
The community is made up of a broad range of individuals and groups with a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, lifestyles, languages, and cultures. Valuing people equally does not necessarily involve treating them all the same. St John’s is committed to the principle that all students and staff should be treated with dignity and respect.
All members or our school community are valued:
- Whether or not they are disabled or have physical or mental health challenges
- Whatever their race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, or national status
- Whatever their sex, gender, or gender identity
- Whatever their religious or non-religious affiliation or their beliefs
- Whatever their sexual orientation is towards their own sex, the opposite sex or to both sexes
- Whether or not they are pregnant or are on maternity leave
- Whatever their age
- Whatever their marital or civil partnership status
