At St Peter’s Church of England First School & Pre School, we are deeply committed to promoting equality, celebrating diversity, and fostering an inclusive, nurturing environment where every member of our community feels valued, respected, and empowered to flourish.
Our school’s Christian vision—“Love, Learn, Flourish”, rooted in St Paul’s teaching, “Let all that you do be done in love”, underpins everything we do. We believe that every individual is uniquely created and loved by God, and we strive to ensure that all children and adults are supported to become the best version of themselves.
We believe that every member of our school community deserves to be treated with dignity, compassion, and fairness—regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion or belief, disability, or any other protected characteristic. We are committed to creating a school culture that celebrates difference and promotes equality for all.
In our pursuit of equity and justice, we actively challenge discrimination, prejudice, and stereotypes. We work to ensure that every child and adult has the opportunity to thrive academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Our curriculum is designed to reflect the rich diversity of our global society and to extend pupils’ understanding of different worldviews and cultures. Through collective worship, inclusive teaching, and a wide range of extracurricular opportunities, we encourage respectful dialogue, critical thinking, and empathy.
We are proud of our strong pastoral care, which supports the mental health and well-being of pupils, staff, and families. Our inclusive ethos ensures that all learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are supported to succeed and feel a deep sense of belonging.
Staff receive ongoing training to uphold our commitment to equality and inclusion. We work in partnership with parents, carers, the local church, and the wider community to ensure that our shared values are lived out in daily school life.
This Equality Statement is not just a declaration—it is a commitment to action. We regularly review our policies, practices, and curriculum to ensure they reflect our values and meet the needs of our diverse community. We welcome feedback and are committed to listening and responding to concerns with integrity and care.
By embracing and celebrating diversity, we nurture a school community where love, respect, and fairness are at the heart of all we do—preparing our children to be compassionate, courageous, and responsible citizens of the world.
We are proud to promote equality and inclusion at St Peter’s Church of England First School & Pre School, where every child is known, loved, and encouraged to shine.
