Diversity & Inclusion

 

At Witton-le-Wear Primary School, we treat everyone equally and fairly regardless of…

Age Disability Gender
Gender Identity Race and Nationality Religion or Belief
Pregnancy Marriage Sexual Orientation

We believe that all pupils have an equal right to develop and achieve their potential. Equality of opportunity underpins the school curriculum and the work of the school. Children at Witton-le-Wear Primary are treated as individuals with their own abilities, difficulties, attitudes, backgrounds and experiences.

Educate and Celebrate

This year, we’ve had the brilliant opportunity to be involved in the ‘Educate and Celebrate’ Best Practice Programme, which aims to ‘transform schools and organisations into LGBT+ Friendly places, creating a safe environment for staff, students, governors and parents to thrive and achieve, enabling everyone to be themselves without fear of discrimination.’  The aim of the programme is very simple – to stamp out any form of homophobic or transphobic bullying by educating children about LGBT issues, using stories, assemblies, the curriculum – any way we can. The programme is approved and supported by Durham Council and many primary and secondary schools in the area have already completed it.
