Equality

Equality objectives to be reviewed by June 2028

1 To further develop children's understanding, tolerance and appreciation of diversity in our community (at all levels - school, national, world).

2 To further promote pupils understanding of identity, diversity, community and equality, through a culturally inclusive curriculum which celebrates equality and diversity.

3 Ensure school's approach to mental health and behaviour is part of a consistent whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing.

4 To narrow the gap between disadvantaged pupils and other pupils.
