Equality & Diversity

Equality and diversity is at the heart of our academy vision.

We are committed to breaking down barriers to learning, and tackling all forms of disadvantage; we believe in the power of education to promote social equality and dramatically improve life chances. Our mission is to provide a truly exceptional educational experience for all.

The academy recognises and welcomes its duty under the Equality Act 2010 to take into account the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations between different parts of our academy community. We actively challenge discrimination on the grounds of the protected characteristics (age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation). The academy makes adjustments to alleviate disadvantage, by taking positive action to deal with particular disadvantages affecting a group because of a protected characteristic.

Everyone is highly valued at Belle Vue Girls’ Academy. The academy is committed to creating a community that recognises and celebrates difference and diversity. We work to create an inclusive environment, in which everyone feels welcomed, supported and confident about being themselves whatever their characteristics or background.
