Glossary
Equity. A strategy used to promote fairness, in which individuals are given what they need to be successful.
Equality. A strategy to promote fairness, that treats each individual exactly the same way.
Equality aims to promote fairness, but it can work only if everyone starts from the same place and needs the same help. We strive to achieve equity, knowing that each learner may need something different in order to reach full potential. Specifically, this means that students’ personal or social circumstances, such as ethnic origin, family background, or gender should not be obstacles to their educational potential. Rather, we aim to celebrate these identities, knowing that our school community is stronger and more joyful when we do so.
