Equality Statement

The Villages' Multi-Academy Trust is committed to ensuring equality of education, and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents/carers, irrespective of race, gender, ability or disability, belief, culture, religion or socio-economic background.

We understand equality of opportunity to exist when:

• it is understood that everyone is unique and everyone has different needs;
• equality of access exists for all;
• everyone feels safe and secure in an environment which does not disadvantage or discriminate against anyone;
• individual and community needs are responded to for the benefit of everyone;
• adequate resources exist to meet everyone's needs.
