• The achievement of pupils will be monitored by race, gender and disability and we will use this data to support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching.
• We will tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes and creating an environment which champions respect for all.
• At Robert Bloomfield Academy we aim to make diversity a strength, which should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit here

The ethos of our school is embodied in the words "Community, Opportunity, Excellence". We believe in high expectations which combine to form a strong collective identity and responsibility to each other. We have an inclusive curriculum which allows individuals the scope to explore their talents and enthusiasms whilst giving them a firm academic grounding for future success. Our ethos is one of continually striving to improve as we approach the challenges of the learning journey together.

Information on students by protected characteristics

The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics. Every person has several of the protected characteristics, so the Act protects everyone against unfair treatment.

In order to ensure that all students are protected from discrimination, the school collects information on protected characteristics.
