Here at Ashley Down Primary School we believe it is important to live and breathe equality through everything we do. We aim to promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development, with special emphasis on promoting equality and diversity, and eradicating prejudicial incidents for pupils and staff. Our school is committed to not only eliminating discrimination, but also increasing understanding and appreciation for diversity. We are a school that focuses on eliminating prejudices and stereotypes to ensure everyone fosters positive attitudes and relationships and in general a shared sense of belonging to one diverse community.
