Sandwood Primary School

Equalities

Glasgow City Council Education Services is committed to equality and fairness, and our legal duties, obligations and associated responsibilities within the Equality Act 2010 across all our schools and early years establishments. We want to ensure that equality is embedded in all our establishments and that our values and cultures promote equalities. We want all our children and young people, staff, families and partners to feel highly valued and be treated fairly. We strive towards creating learning environments that reflect the diversity of the school community, both within the curriculum and in our workforce. We want everyone to have positive experiences and opportunities and recognise their contribution as global citizens to a world free from discrimination and one that promotes justice for all.

Our Equality policy seeks to ensure that are everyone regularly thinks about how they are taking forward equality in their roles and settings as a catalyst for positive change, equality and fairness. It will encourage all to reflect on their commitment, activities and culture and how to adapt to a continually changing and rapidly evolving society.

In taking forward our Equality policy we are continuing to support the aim of creating a nurturing school within a nurturing city where children and young people feel respected and included.

We want schools to continue to celebrate the diversity of communities across our city, to challenge ourselves and each other, and consider our actions and impact across all the protected characteristics. Fundamentally, we support Glasgow’s vision of a world class city with a thriving and inclusive economy where everyone can flourish.

Sandwood Primary School is committed to promoting a positive and diverse culture to which all staff, young people, families and the wider community are valued and supported irrespective of their age, disability, gender, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, marriage and civil partnership and pregnancy and maternity. We recognise our obligation under the Equality Act 2010 and are committed to promoting the equality and diversity of all that we work with.
