At Marsh Gibbon CE School, we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity and provision for all pupils, staff, parents and carers irrespective of race, gender, disability, belief, religion, marital status, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, age or socio-economic background.

· Promote equality of access and opportunity within our school and wider community.
· Promote positive attitudes to difference and good relationships between people of  
   different backgrounds, cultures, genders, faiths, abilities and ethnic origins.
