At Waverley Junior Academy we welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010 to eliminate discrimination, victimisation and other harmful conduct under the Act. We work to advance the equality of opportunity and promote positive attitudes amongst all staff and pupils relating to the protected characteristics of age, disability, ethnicity, gender (including issues of transgender, and of maternity and pregnancy), religion and belief, and sexual orientation/identity (including marriage and civil partnerships,) whether they have a protected characteristic or not.

We are committed to ensuring a tolerant school community where diversity is celebrated, equality is promoted and issues of discrimination, disadvantage and underachievement of different groups are challenged and removed.
