Our GLC Core Values:

• Responsibility: We own our behaviour and actions. We recognise that we play a fundamental role in shaping our lives, the lives of others and every aspect of the world. We understand the importance of ‘making the weather.’
• Resilience: We tackle challenges head-on. We approach people and situations with confidence and a positive mindset. We learn from our setbacks and failures.
• Compassion: We care for ourselves and each other. We contribute to making the world a better place. We treat others with kindness, respect and dignity.
• Aspiration: We aim high and work hard to fulfil our potential. We believe everybody can achieve something great and realise the importance of ‘improving upon our best.’

 

Equalities Statement:

The GLC’s commitment to equality is enshrined in our mission statement to develop ‘active and thriving citizens within a diverse, truly fair and equal community’.

We are a vibrant, innovative and successful organisation: we work hard to be the place of choice to work and to learn. Across the 5 academies of the GLC, we pledge that everyone enjoys an equality of opportunity. We work tirelessly to ensure that individual characteristics including age, ethnicity, socio-economic background, academic ability, disability, gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation are not discriminated against in any way. We create inclusive environments characterised by mutual respect where difference is celebrated.

Equalities Objectives: 

To achieve this, our equality objectives include the following:

Support all members of the GLC to model and promote the GLC mission, motto and values.

1. Work with all members of staff so that they are able to implement the Equity in Education principles:

• Equity not equality

• Capacity not deficit thinking

• Deep not shallow relationship

• Multiple not singular talents

Work with all members of staff to increase bias awareness and create a culture of challenge and shared responsibility.

2. Provide a broad and balanced curriculum that takes into account academic, interests and talents in, or outside of the classroom.

3. To ensure our book lists and materials are representative of our community and the world around us and children and young people can see themselves in fiction and non-fiction texts.

4. To promote all young people’s social, moral, cultural and spiritual development through a rich range of experiences both in and beyond each GLC academy.

To provide additional support for those who are under-resourced to meet age related expectations and to be able to become active and thriving citizens.

To understand the needs and ensure equal access to information for all parents and carers.
