Diversity & Equality

The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to drive positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population.

We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community.

All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.
