Equality & diversity

We believe that all of our pupils, staff and parents have equal rights and should be treated equally regardless of any differences. We are committed to meeting its responsibilities in relation to the Equality Act of 2010 and aims to uphold the three main elements of the Act.

Our six main aims are:

‍

To ensure a broad and inclusive education that fosters a sense of belonging, builds worth and enables children and young people to engage constructively and effectively with each other and with society;
To deliver a remarkable education rich in representation, experience and role models that inspires all of our children and young people to know and believe that they can choose remarkable lives;
To build and maintain a diverse workforce by identifying, attracting, retaining and developing diverse candidates with a wealth of experience and talent;
To cultivate and promote an inclusive culture that maximises the talent, skills and diversity within our school;
To establish clear data sets and robust procedures to monitor and drive improvement in all equality and diversity measures; and
To break down barriers, build rich relationships and promote wide parent and community engagement for the positive benefit of the whole community.

‍

As part of the EEDI agenda, we seek to address inequalities among pupils in five key areas:

To close the attainment gap between boys and girls in English, Mathematics and Science at all key stages;
To close the gap in performance of all pupils with special educational needs or disabilities;
To close the gap in performance between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged groups;
To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experiences both in and beyond the curriculum; and
To prevent and respond to all hate incidents and prejudice-based bullying.
