Equality

 

At Prenton Primary School we are committed to meeting our Public Sector Equality Duty to:

1. (a) Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited by or under this Act.

2. (b) Advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

3. (c) Foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it.

We are committed to ensuring equality of provision throughout the school community. To achieve this, our Equality Objectives 2022-2026 are as follows:

  • To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experience, both in and beyond the school.

  • To tackle prejudice and promote understanding in relation to people with disabilities.

  • To ensure that pupils, parents and staff understand an accurate definition of bullying and ensure that school processes and procedures are effective in preventing it and tackling it should any form of bullying occur.

  • Ensure that the difference between the attainment and progress of boys and girls in all our classes is diminished.

  • To ensure that all pupils are given similar opportunities with regards to after-school clubs and activities.

  • To allow equal access to information for all parents.

  • To ensure that our curriculum provision for relationships and sex education matches the requirements from the newly updated Religious Education curriculum.

  • To ensure the school environment is accessible as possible to all pupils, staff and visitors.

  • To ensure the children are prepared for life in modern Britain and the next stage of learning.

We aim to promote pupils’ spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development, with special emphasis on promoting equality, diversity and eradicating prejudicial incidents for pupils and staff. Our school is committed to not only eliminating discrimination, but also increasing understanding and appreciation for diversity.
