Equality and Diversity

At Ormiston Herman Academy we have a strong commitment to fairness and equality in everything that we do.

• We try to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and with respect.
• We work hard to make sure that the academy is a safe and secure environment for everyone.
• We recognise that people have different needs, and we understand that treating people equally does not always involve treating them all the same.
• We recognise that for some students, extra support is needed to help them to achieve and be successful.
• We try to make sure that people from different groups are consulted and involved in our decisions, for example through talking to students and parents/carers, and through our Student Council.
• We aim to make sure that no-one experiences harassment, less favourable treatment, or discrimination because of their age; any disability they may have; their ethnicity, colour or national origin; their gender; their gender identity or reassignment; their marital or civil partnership status; being pregnant or having recently had a baby; their religion or beliefs; their sexual identity and orientation.
