Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

At Woodhouse College, we are committed to embedding equality, diversity, and inclusion throughout every aspect of college life. We actively challenge all forms of discrimination, harassment, victimisation, and disadvantage, aiming to nurture a community built on shared values, fairness, and mutual respect.

We take pride in the rich mix of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives within our college. These differences strengthen our community and help us create an environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

We recognise our duty to maintain a culture in which all students and staff can study and work safely, confidently, and free from prejudice. Respect for others and openness to differing views are central to this ethos. Our policies ensure that all protected characteristics are treated equally and that discriminatory behaviour or language has no place at Woodhouse.

We believe that inequality, prejudice, and discrimination in any form are unacceptable. The principles of fairness, inclusion, and equal opportunity underpin our curriculum, culture, and daily practices. Working collaboratively with students, staff, and external partners, we continue to embed inclusive approaches across college life and actively promote equality and respect.
