Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Our vision is to create a whole school culture which actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion for all, and eliminates any conscious and unconscious bias among the school and wider community.
Reading is a powerful tool to educate our children about the diverse and beautiful world we live in. Check out the links below to access our EDI reading lists.

Aims
Our school aims to meet its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) by having due regard to the need to:
Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 2010.
Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
Foster good relations across all characteristics – between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
The protected characteristics are:
- Age
- Disability
- Gender reassignment
- Marriage and civil partnership
- Pregnancy and maternity
- Race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origins)
- Religion or belief
- Sex
- Sexual orientation
We also aim to promote respect for difference and diversity in accordance with our core Christian values: respect, service, kindness, courage, perseverance and thankfulness. Our mission statement reminds us that we seek to let our actions reflect our values: ‘Let your light shine before others, so they see your good works and give glory to God’ – Matthew 5 v. 16.

Equalities, Diversity and Inclusion Lead (EDI)
The school's EDI Lead is Miss Emily Cook. She can be contacted via the school's communication system at communications@stpetersce.lbhf.sch.uk.
PTA
The aim of the PTA at St Peter’s is to fundraise, build community, and strengthen relationships between parents, carers, teachers, and pupils. Within the group, we have designated parents who focus on equality, diversity, and inclusion.
SEND Family Network
The school also has a SEND Family Network, organised by parent representatives. This group provides an opportunity for members of our school community to come together, share expertise, engage in open discussions, form friendships, and offer support.
Book and Educational Recommendations for Adults
If you would like to explore EDI related topics further, we have devised a resource list that is compiled of a range of books, podcasts, websites and more. If anyone has any further recommendations, please contact Miss Cook via our school's communication system.
Please see the glossary of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Terms – this is not a comprehensive list but rather a starting point for conversation and learning.
