Equal Opportunities And Social Inclusion
The school is non-denominational. We respect and welcome children and parents/carers of all religions, faiths and beliefs. We endorse fully North Lanarkshire’s Equality and Fairness Policy and are committed to eliminating all forms of discrimination, including race, disability, gender and religion.
The school is committed to ensuring its policies and practices do not impact adversely on any particular group(s) of people and opportunities to promote equality are actively pursued.
No child is discriminated on the grounds of belief, race, culture, gender or ability. All children are equally valued and provided with an education, which allows them to develop their full potential. Incidents of racial harassment will be treated seriously and dealt with appropriately.
Implementation of the Education and Families Equality Policy including The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s Technical Guidance for Schools in Scotland is the essential guide for the school community to promote equality. This can be accessed at:
