At Bramcote Hills Primary we are fortunate to have a diverse school community. We strive to provide a school community that respects, values and celebrates differences.  Throughout the school year we celebrate many different events, such as Diwali, Lunar New Year, Mental Health week and Wellbeing week. 

Our school has a team of Diversity Champions from Key Stage Two who meet once every half-term. This provides children in our school a voice to share their thoughts on diversity, equality and inclusion within our school and ways we can build upon and improve our practice. 

We are committed to providing an inclusive education for all our pupils that recognises the nine protected characteristics stated in the Equality Act of 2010. Through teaching these children gain an understanding of the world in which they are growing up in and develop a respect towards people who hold these characteristics.   

The Protected Characteristics are as follows: 

• Sex (gender)
• Disability 
• Age
• Religion or belief
• Marriage and Civil partnerships (families)
• Pregnancy or maternity
• Sexual orientation
• Gender reassignment

We teach about these Protected Characteristics in line with our Jigsaw PSHE scheme of work and at an age appropriate level. In Foundation and Key stage One we prioritise our teaching of the characteristics highlighted in bold.
