Equality
Maiden Erlegh Trusts overarching objectives are to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity, and foster good relations within and beyond our school communities.We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion across all our schools. We uphold zero tolerance for discrimination, value every individual equally, and actively remove barriers for those with protected characteristics. Our culture promotes representation, belonging, participation, and respectful dialogue, supported by fair recruitment and ongoing professional development.
Maiden Erlegh Trust is committed to ensuring that every pupil/student, member of staff, and community stakeholder is treated fairly, with dignity and respect. In all areas of our work, we will:
- Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation as defined by the Equality Act 2010.
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
- Foster good relations across all groups, ensuring a shared sense of belonging.
We recognise that fairness does not always mean treating everyone identically. Where specific groups face barriers or disadvantage, the Trust will take reasonable and proportionate steps to remove or mitigate inequalities.
