Equality and Diversity

The Equality Act 2010 (Specific Duties) Regulations 2011 ~ it is a fundamental understanding at Shrewsbury Sixth Form College that each member of the College, whether student or staff, is a valued person in his/her own right, regardless of gender, race, marital status, age, religion, belief, sexual orientation or disability. The structures in the College are designed to ensure this aim is realised.

In addition, the annual staff and student surveys are constructed with due regard to equality and diversity questions.
