Equality and Diversity
"You can't state difference and also state equality. We have to state sameness to understand equality."
As a co-operative school, equality is one of our key values.
At Southroyd we ensure that the themes of equality and diversity are an intrinsic part of our curriculum. Lessons, assemblies and events in our school calendar promote and celebrate our pupils, families and staff and all the many differences they bring to make Southroyd an increasingly rich and diverse family.
Our School Council reviewed what equality means to us at Southroyd and whether we could do more in school to ensure fairness and equality for all pupils.
At Southroyd, we use assemblies to review aspects of our PSHE curriculum, with themes of equality, diversity and social justice.

Equality and equity are two stated values that underpin all aspects of school life, for adults and children alike. We believe in every child performing to their full potential and we strongly believe that pupils should take an active role in a relevant and real curriculum, with meaningful and continuous involvement with the decision making within the school.
Embedded themes within our curriculum, include developing an awareness and understanding of:
