Our Equality Objectives

Our Equality Objectives

 

The Equality Act 2010 replaces previous anti-discrimination legislation with a single Act in order to protect the following characteristics:

 

  • Disability
  • Race and ethnicity
  • Gender
  • Gender identity 
  • Marriage and civil partnership (but only in respect of eliminating unlawful discrimination)
  • Pregnancy and maternity
  • Religion and belief
  • Sexual identity

 

We are required to ensure that we have due regard to the need to:

 

  • Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct that is prohibited by the Act
  • Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a characteristic and those who don’t
  • Foster good relations between people who share a characteristic and those who don’t.

 

As a school, we have set the following equality objectives:

 

  • To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experience, both in and beyond the school
  • To ensure that all pupils are given similar opportunities with regards to after-school clubs and activities
  • To ensure the school environment is accessible as possible to all pupils, staff and visitors.
  • To eradicate prejudice related bullying in relation to the protected characteristics listed in the Equality Act 2010
  • To reduce prejudice and increase understanding of equality through direct teaching across the curriculum.
  • Actively close gaps in attainment and achievement between pupils and all groups of pupils; especially students eligible for free-school meals, students with special educational needs and disabilities and looked after children
