As a Catholic community, Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Engineering College is committed to equality of opportunity and inclusion. In line with our Mission Statement, ‘In Christ we grow’ we aim to treat each other with the same dignity and respect, inspired by the Gospel. We are committed to developing policies and practice that raise attainment for all students and close the gap between those facing disadvantage and their peers.
We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010. The school’s duties with regard to equality are:
- To eliminate discrimination and other conduct that is prohibited by the Act
- To advance equality of opportunity between those who share a protected characteristic and those who do not share it
- To foster good relationships across all protected characteristics
We will not discriminate against, harass or victimise any staff member, pupil, prospective pupil, or other member of the school community because of their:
- Sex
- Age

- Pregnancy or maternity
- Marriage and civil partnership
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.
