Leighton Park stands against everything to do with discrimination, exclusion, harassment, bullying and hatred in whatever form it takes, actively promoting fundamental British values, including democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance. Leighton Park seeks to be a leading school in this regard, which delights in being diverse, open-minded and with a culture of equitable inclusion. Leighton Park is a place where everyone is respected, yet we recognise that tolerance is but a step on the journey to acceptance and celebration. We aspire to do our best by remaining agile and not complacent about the barriers and challenges to inclusion that can arise over time in schools and wider society.
Our seven Quaker values embody our commitment to the well-being of our School community and in particular, we seek to safeguard and support people with protected characteristics under the Equality Act (2010). We also pledge to uphold the rights of all diverse young people not to be discriminated against as enshrined in Article 2 of the United Nation’s Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We encourage applications from young people from disadvantaged backgrounds and others who would benefit from the transformative impact of our full bursaries.
If you have ideas to share with the Leighton Park Equality. Diversity and inclusion Steering Group or would like to discuss equalities, diversity and inclusion at Leighton Park, please contact our Diversity & Inclusion Officer, Shaun Dellenty at shaundellenty@leightonpark.com
