Equality and Inclusion

Park View Primary School is part of the Basingstoke Inclusion Programme. We aim to eliminate discrimination and foster good relationships and equality.

We believe that all pupils and members of staff should have the opportunity to fulfil their potential whatever their background, identity and circumstances. We are committed to creating a community that recognises and celebrates difference within a culture of respect and co-operation. We appreciate that a culture which promotes equality will create a positive environment and a shared sense of belonging for all who work, learn and use the services of our school. We recognise that equality will only be achieved by the whole school community working together – our pupils, staff, governors and parents/carers.  

In school we have completed staff training and an audit to see how we can promote equality further. Equality forms part of our PSHE curriculum. It is further explored through weekly debating assemblies, where there are opportunities for 'pupil voice'; for children to share their views and opinions about issues that involve equality in a confident and respectful manner.  

The leaflet, 'Prejudicial Language and Behaviour Guide for Parents/Carers' will help parents and carers understand what we mean by protected characteristics and help combat prejudice and discrimination amongst our children.
