Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

The Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) is part of the Equality Act 2010. It requires public authorities - including schools - to actively consider how their decisions and policies affect people with protected characteristics.

Under section 149 of the Equality Act, schools must have due regard to three key aims:

1.  Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation

2. Advance equality of opportunity 

3. Foster good relations between groups

Our school's equality and diversity objective for 2025/26 is:

• To improve staff awareness of unconscious bias and inclusive practice

We have chosen this objective:

• To ensure our staff understand their duties in relation to good equality practices.
• To improve staff confidence in inclusive practice and unconscious bias awareness.

We plan to achieve this objective by:

• Delivering regular staff CPD on unconscious bias and inclusive pedagogy.
• Embedding equality into everyday classroom practice.
• Promoting a whole school culture of inclusion and belonging.
• Strengthening monitoring for disproportionality.
