At Sandymoor Ormiston Academy we have a strong commitment to fairness and equality in everything that we do.
- We aim to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
- We work hard to make our academy a safe and secure environment for all.
- We recognise people have different needs, and that treating people equally does not always involve treating them all the same.
- We recognise that some students require extra support.
- We make sure that people from different groups are involved in our decision making process.
We ensure nobody experiences harassment, less-favourable treatment or discrimination relating to:
- Age
- Disability
- Ethnicity, colour or national origin
- Gender identity or reassignment
- Marital or civil partnership status
- Being pregnant or having recently had a baby
- Religion or beliefs
- Sexual identity or orientation
We pay due regard to the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination; to advance equality of opportunity; and to foster good relations.
We welcome the emphasis in the Ofsted inspection framework on the importance of narrowing gaps in achievement within the following groups:
- Students who have English as an additional language.
- Students who are supported by the pupil premium.
- Students who are disabled.
- Students who have special educational needs.
- Boys in certain subjects, and girls in certain subjects.
