Whatever the nature of the local community, pupils are growing up in a wider multicultural and multiracial society, where they are subject to various attitudes towards minority groups, and also certain images of these groups portrayed by the media.

The school’s equality objectives should be read in conjunction with our ‘Single Equality Policy’.

Objectives:

• To promote cultural understanding and awareness of different religious beliefs.
• Monitoring and promoting the involvement of all groups of pupils in the wider life of the school.
• To actively close gaps in attainment and achievement between pupils, especially pupils eligible for Free School Meals, pupils with Special Educational Needs, looked after children and children from minority ethnic groups.
