Equality and Diversity
Equal Opportunities
It is a clear policy of Wyke Sixth Form College that there should be no discrimination on grounds of gender, race, social class, sexual orientation, cultural background or religious beliefs, disability, age or academic ability. Each student is unique, is deserving of respect, and should be treated according to their individual needs.
All students are encouraged to embrace this policy, and actively seek to promote respectful relationships within Wyke.
Wyke studentsIf a student feels that they have been the victim of discrimination by any member of the College – staff or student - they should pursue the matter by talking, in the first instance, with their Tutor. If a complaint needs to be made, this can be done through the guidance desk, or direct to the Equal Opportunities Manager, who is currently the Vice Principal (Staff and Students), Mike Rogerson. You could also speak to a member of the executive of the student association.
There is a group, the Opportunities Group, which comprises both students and staff, and which meets regularly to consider equal opportunities issues. You can make contact with this group, through the student executive or via the Equal Opportunities Manager.
The college has produced an abridged audio version of the prospectus and this is available to any prospective student on request.
Disability Equality Scheme
Wyke Sixth Form College is committed to ensuring that disabled students and staff have the opportunity to be fully involved in the life of the college. We believe that the Disability Equality Scheme and subsequent action plan will assist the college in meeting this aim in future years.
