Equal Opportunities Policy
At Fi Steps Dance & Performing Arts, every individual is valued equally, regardless of their beliefs, background, social status, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any disabilities.
Our goals are to:
- Ensure that all students and staff understand that discrimination based on age, disability, gender identity, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, or ability is unacceptable.
- Foster a safe environment where everyone feels comfortable to express their opinions and ask questions.
- Ensure that the principles of equal opportunities apply to everyone within our community, including students, teaching and non-teaching staff, parents, and visitors.
We aim to reflect equal opportunity practices in:
- The informal curriculum (show performances and holiday workshops)
- The “hidden” curriculum (the overall ethos of the school, quality of personal relationships, etc.)
Our mission is to educate, develop, and prepare all students for life, regardless of their gender, race, background, culture, or abilities.
We recognise each student as an individual, tailoring their training to suit their unique needs and abilities. This approach is grounded in a comprehensive understanding of effective teaching and learning styles, intervention techniques, behavioural strategies, and any relevant medical or diagnostic considerations.
