Equalities

Inclusivity is a founding principle of TKA, and equality will always be of the highest priority for us. This is reflected through our values of Community, Character, Ambition, and our focus on making sure every child feels that they truly belong here - a school where all can flourish.

Under the Equality Act 2010 (the Act) public bodies, including schools,  are required when carrying out their functions to have due regard to the need to: 

  • eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the Act, 

  • advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it, 

  • foster good relations across all characteristics - between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it

The protected characteristics are:

  • Sex

  • Race

  • Disability

  • Religion or belief

  • Sexual orientation

  • Gender reassignment

  • Marriage and civil partnership

  • Pregnancy and maternity

  • Age (a relevant characteristic in considering duties in our role as an employer but not in relation to pupils). 

Schools must publish information to demonstrate how they are advancing equality through compliance with the Public Sector Duty and the objectives they have set. The  published information must be updated annually and equality objectives published at least once every four years. You can access our Equalities Statement using the link below.
