Equalities

Schools are required to publish information which is updated annually showing how they comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty and to set at least one equality objective every 4 years.  The need to advance equality of opportunity is defined in the Equality Act 2010 as having due regard to the need to:

1. Remove or minimise disadvantages.
2. Take steps to meet different needs.
3. Encourage participation when it is disproportionately low.

We believe that the Equality Act 2010 provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people.  It also ensures that we continue to tackle issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups or individuals.

The objectives below represent our school’s priorities and are the outcome of a careful review and analysis of data and other evidence.  They also take into account national and local priorities and issues. 

Our Equality Objectives for the year 2024 - 2025 are:

1. To remove barriers to pupils with SEND or who have English as an Additional Language through use of accessibility tools.

2. To promote the importance of good pupil attendance amongst for vulnerable pupils, including those with SEND or in receipt of the Pupil Premium Grant.

3. To improve outcomes for girls in KS2 Mathematics, including for the Multiplication Tables Check.
