Equal Opportunities

Equalities Statement:

Every person in our school community has been made in the image of God and is loved unconditionally by God. Everyone is equal and we treat each other with dignity and respect. Our school is a place where everyone should be able to flourish in a loving and hospitable community. Each person in all their unique differences should be able to thrive, irrespective of physical appearance, gender, race, religion, ethnicity, social economic background, academic ability, disability, sexual orientation or gender identity.

We are committed to promoting the understanding of the principles and practices of equality – treating all members of our school community as individuals, according to their needs, with an awareness of our diverse society and appreciating the value of difference. We actively seek to challenge discrimination and we promote an anti-bullying stance which makes clear the unacceptability of racist, disablist and homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying and language.

At SMFR, we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, governors, parents and carers, irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, religion or socio-economic background.
SMFR is an anti-racist establishment. Racist behaviour or abuse will not be tolerated.
