| Lansdown Park Academy, part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), recognizes, and celebrates diversity, including that which exists within our student and staff populations and the communities we serve. We are committed to advancing equal opportunities for all and eliminating discrimination on any basis, including disability, ethnicity, sex, gender reassignment, age (except pupils), marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, sexual orientation, and religion or belief (defined as Protected Characteristics) so that equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) underpin all we do.

• Eliminating discrimination, harassment, victimization and other conduct prohibited by the Act • Advancing equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it • Fostering good relations across characteristics – between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it • Regardless of the statutory responsibilities the CLF recognizes the positive impact that a cohesive and inclusive EDI strategy can achieve.
