We understand the principles of the Equalities Act and the work needed to ensure that those with protected characteristics are not discriminated against and are given equality of opportunity.  We also actively promote Character Education across the curriculum and in every aspect of school life.

A protected characteristic under the act covers the groups listed below:

• age 
• disability
• race
• gender
• sex
• maternity and pregnancy
• religion and belief
• sexual orientation
• Marriage and Civil Partnership 

Morley Victoria Primary School is an inclusive school where we focus on the well-being and progress of every child and where all members of our community are of equal worth.  The children and all key stakeholders are at the heart of everything we do.  The protected characteristics are weaved through our PSHE curriculum  and the day to day routines of life at Morley Victoria and also link to our work on British Values.  The work we are undertaking towards achieving the Cultural Cohesion Quality Mark also directly links to this area too.
