Earlham Primary School

Equal Opportunities

At Earlham Primary School, all children have the right to equal opportunities in all aspects of school life regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religion or any other factor. We actively oppose discrimination and stereotyping of all kinds and aim for all our children to develop a sense of respect for others.

Equalities Objectives

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:

• age
• being or becoming a transsexual person
• being married or in a civil partnership
• being pregnant or on maternity leave
• disability
• race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin
• religion, belief or lack of religion/belief
• sex
• sexual orientation

These are called ‘protected characteristics’.
