Equality and Diversity

Lancashire Equality Mark

As a school, we are currently working towards the Lancashire Equality Mark.

The Equality Mark is awarded to schools who have taken measures to embed equality throughout their practice with the goal of enabling all pupils to thrive in a supportive learning community.

The Equality Mark comprises of six individual Equality Badges:

  • Race Equality Badge
  • Gender and Gender Variance Equality Badge
  • Disability Equality Badge
  • Socio-economic Equality Badge
  • Sexual Orientation Equality Badge
  • Religion and Belief Equality Badge

Schools can work on specific badges each year. To be awarded with the Equality Mark, all six badges need to be achieved.

We are really proud of all the work our school community does towards the above aspects of equality. We are proud to say that we have been awarded the Disability, Race, Religion and Socioeconomic Equality Badges.

We are currently working towards the Gender and Sexual Orientation Equality Badges
