Equality Objectives 2024-2028

Overview

Wybunbury Delves CE Primary School will promote equal opportunity and will not tolerate inequality in any area of the school's life or work. All will be treated equally and given equal access to the curriculum and life of the school. All will have equal opportunity to benefit from all that we offer. Our intention is to develop an ethos in which all will thrive. Diversity and differences will be valued and respected by all and they will contribute to the richness of our school life and learning.

Objectives

CDAT, as a trust, has set the following Equality Objectives for the four-year period from December 2024 until December 2028:

• To ensure that each CDAT school provides all of its pupils with a rich, broad and balanced curriculum which allows them to achieve well academically and prepares them for the next stage in their education while making sure that no child is disadvantaged because of their background or personal circumstances, including socio-economic context
• To monitor and analyse pupil achievement by race, sex, eligibility for Pupil Premium funding and SEND and act on any trends or patterns in the data that indicate additional support is needed by specific groups of pupils
• To ensure that staff related policies and procedures recognise the provisions within the Act and to make sure that CDAT offers equal opportunities to all staff.

The objectives for Wybunbury Delves CE Primary School are:

• Teachers plan from a leading text(s) to promote strong role models which rise awareness of equality and diversity.
• Providing all our pupils with a rich, broad and balanced curriculum which allows them to achieve well academically and prepares them for the next stage in their education while making sure that no child is disadvantaged because of their background or personal circumstances;
• Children are encouraged to ask ane explore big questions to encourage children to find a voice and challenge perceptions.
• As a Church School we are inclusive of people with non-faith and other faiths; and use Fruits of the Spirit as values to follow in creating our community ethos. These are messaged through Worship, RE and our daily learning journey.
