Equality & Diversity Statement
At Brunel Academies Trust (BAT), we are committed to ensuring equality of opportunity and celebrating diversity for all pupils, students, young people, staff, parents, and visitors. We actively promote inclusion regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
We are proud to foster a culture in which everyone feels valued, respected, and able to participate fully. Discrimination, bullying, and stereotyping have no place here — we challenge them openly and consistently. Our commitment applies across all BAT provisions, services, and environments, creating safe, welcoming, and supportive spaces for all.
Our vision, “No barriers, only potential”, reflects our belief that every individual can succeed. Guided by our mission — “Brunel is a creative educational family committed to opening doors, opening minds, and realising potential for all” — we integrate equality and diversity into everything we do, in line with the Equality Act 2010. All of our children and young people have the opportunity to succeed and to reach their highest level of personal achievements in and out of our provisions.
We ensure our recruitment processes are open, transparent, and fair, appointing the best candidates based solely on skills, qualifications, and potential. All decisions are made lawfully and reflect our inclusive culture.
Through our work with children, young people, and staff, we continue to break down barriers, expand opportunities, and grow together as a community built on equality, respect, and ambition.
