EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
The school aims to afford equality of educational opportunity to all young people. At Glengowan Primary, we implement the Council’s Equality and Diversity Policy and Equality Strategy 2019-2024 and the Service’s Promoting Equality and Diversity General Circular 155-10.

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.
