Equal Opportunities Policy

Luke-Taylor School of Performing Arts is committed to providing an inclusive environment where all children and young people are treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

We aim to ensure that no student, parent, or staff member is discriminated against on the grounds of:

• Age
• Disability
• Gender reassignment
• Marriage or civil partnership
• Pregnancy or maternity
• Race, ethnicity, or nationality
• Religion or belief
• Sex
• Sexual orientation

The School is committed to:

• Providing equal access to all classes and activities
• Promoting a welcoming and inclusive environment
• Encouraging respect, understanding, and diversity
• Supporting students with additional needs where reasonably possible

Where appropriate, the School will make reasonable adjustments to support students with additional needs or disabilities, where it is practical and safe to do so.

Parents/carers are encouraged to discuss any support requirements at the time of enrolment.

The School does not tolerate discrimination, bullying, harassment, or victimisation of any kind. Any behaviour of this nature may result in:

• A warning
• Temporary suspension
• Removal from classes

This policy works alongside the School's Safeguarding Policy to ensure all children are protected and supported equally.

The School owner is responsible for ensuring this policy is implemented fairly and consistently.

All teachers, including guest or freelance staff, are expected to follow this policy.

This policy will be reviewed annually or sooner if required.
