Just a little addendum to my post yesterday about private schools.
While researching something else I came across this from the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
Public authorities, including state education providers, must comply with certain legal responsibilities set out in the following duties:
The duties apply to the governing bodies of all maintained schools (community schools, foundation schools, voluntary aided and voluntary controlled schools), city technology colleges, city colleges for the arts, city colleges for technology and city academies.
Are independent or private schools subject to these duties?
Private or independent schools are not required to comply with the equality duties, although they are strongly encouraged to do so as it will help them to establish and maintain good practice in promoting equality.
So, go private if want to less protection from discrimination: can't see that appearing in any of their brochures.
