Equality Objectives

The three aims of the Public Sector Equality Duty are to:

  1. Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct prohibited by the Act.
  2. Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
  3. Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

Equality objective 1: To secure a core and extended curriculum Y7-13 which is delivered by informed professionals in a learning environment that promotes diversity; recognising individuals and groups who share protected characteristics. An awareness, understanding and acceptance of those young people and adults of differing ethnicity, cultural and religious observance, sex, sexual orientation and gender identity will promote community cohesion and prepare young people to be responsible citizens within and beyond the Academy.

Equality objective 2:  To ensure the quality of education through the curriculum delivers the best outcomes so that young people, particularly the most vulnerable and disadvantaged cohorts/groups achieve at least in line with their non-disadvantaged peers.

Equality objective 3:  To ensure all young people engage effectively and achieve their potential by attending school all day, on time, every day.  Attendance to exceed national average for all pupils.

The attendance of targeted groups exceeds the attendance of all pupils where overall attendance exceeds national average.
