Equality OBJECTIVES 2025-2027
For children to experience a diverse range of role models in collective worship, topics, RE and PSHE lessons – celebrating them as individuals and their cultures
To create opportunities in collective worship and classes to celebrate the skills, talents and contributions of all our children, while simultaneously providing targeted support to help disadvantaged children develop their skills
To review our curriculum and texts in classrooms and the school library to ensure there is a realistic and diverse representation of the life today and in the past – especially avoiding inaccurate stereotypes
To recognise and appreciate the diverse backgrounds and lived experiences of our children, including aspects of race, culture, religion, family structures, special needs and personal identities
To equip staff to support children with EAL (English as an Additional Language) with additional staff training, access to resources, establishing effective buddy support systems, adaptations in classroom and targeted interventions
To enhance our staff’s racial literacy – fostering a deeper understanding of the experiences of children and families from their diverse cultures, raising awareness of “implicit bias”, encouraging self-reflection on their practices, and building confidence to engage in meaningful conversations about race and diversity
To foster an inclusive, respectful, and safe school environment by reducing prejudice-related language and behaviour; enhancing pupils’ understanding and appreciation of diversity; and using data-driven approaches to monitor, respond to, and reduce incidents of bullying, racism, and prejudice through targeted interventions
To develop a more diverse parent/carer voice that ensures the school’s full community is represented and their voices are understood and heard
