At the Vale Federation we create an equal opportunities environment in which everyone is enabled to fulfil their potential and to feel pride in their personal identity. We are committed to supporting the successes and achievement of each and every individual in our schools and to develop our students as children who have the right to dignity, self-respect, and self-advocacy.

We believe that all members of our schools and all who are our partners in the education of children (parents, colleagues in other schools and other agencies, contractors, and visitors to the school), should be valued and respected as individuals and for their contribution to our school.

We believe in the principles of Human Rights as the basis of our approach to equal opportunities, experiences and treatment in school and in life. We are determined that members of our community will not be discriminated against because of their race, religion or culture, sexuality, social background, or disability.

We have high expectations of everyone.

We expect everyone to show respect:

• for themselves
• for others
• for learning
