Equality
At Rossington St Michael’s, we believe that every child, family member and staff member should be treated with respect, dignity and fairness. Equality is at the heart of our school community. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and supported to achieve their full potential - regardless of their background, identity or circumstances.
