At St Andrew’s we believe the emotional health and wellbeing of children is at the heart of everything we do. In October 2019 we (pupils, staff and parents) completely rewrote our Anti-Bullying Procedure and subsequently updated it in May 2021 and renamed it Anti-Bullying and Discrimination Procedure. Our pupil led Equalities Group are updating our current pupil version of the policy (due October 2021) along with improved mechanisms for pupils to report bullying and discrimination to senior staff.
City of Edinburgh Council is committed to improving the quality of life for those who face inequality, harassment, discrimination and prejudice and to harness the talent and celebrate the difference of all who live in the city. This commitment is set out in the Equality, Diversity and Rights Framework which can be viewed on the council’s website. As a school, we are committed to fulfilling our obligation of equity and excellence for all learners, with particular reference to protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010 (race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, religion/belief, age, marriage or civil partnership, transgender status or pregnancy/maternity) and other factors such as poverty.
