Equality Objectives

The Trust has set the following Equality Objectives for the four-year period from Nov 2019 until Oct 2023: i. To deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, which provides opportunities for all pupils to achieve the highest standards of education, using specialist programmes and dedicated resources (e.g. Pupil Premium and Sports Premium funding) to support pupils who need it the most. ii. To deliver a programme of assemblies, educational trips and to use outside visitors to promote the ethos of equality to pupils and help pupils develop good relationships with people of different characteristics. Equality Policy – November 2019 Page 6 of 8 iii. To review pupil related policies and procedures (particularly, but not limited to, the pupil behaviour policy, the provision for SEND children and the schools’ accessibility plans) to ensure they facilitate full access to the curriculum and the Trust premises and facilities whenever possible. iv. To review its staff related policies and procedures to ensure they comply with the Act (e.g. recruitment, flexible working, maternity and pay policies) and the Trust offers equal opportunities to all staff.
