Brentwood School and College is committed to ensuring that every student, member of staff and visitor is treated fairly, with dignity and respect. We actively promote equality, diversity and inclusion and work to remove barriers that may prevent individuals from achieving their full potential.

In accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty, we have due regard to the need to:

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
• Advance equality of opportunity for all.
• Foster good relations between people from different backgrounds and communities.

As a specialist SEND school and college, inclusion is central to everything we do. We provide personalised learning programmes, therapeutic support and reasonable adjustments to enable all students to access a broad and ambitious curriculum. We are committed to maintaining an accessible environment and continually improving access to learning, information and facilities for students, families and visitors.

During 2025–26, the school continued to develop accessible learning environments, improve digital accessibility, support participation in community-based learning and ensure that equality considerations informed school improvement planning and governance. Progress towards our Equality Objectives is monitored regularly by senior leaders and the Governing Board.
