The School is committed to promoting the welfare and equality of all its staff, pupils and other members of the School community. We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of our policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics, as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations.

To achieve this, the school has established the following objectives:

• Monitor changes to the curriculum (especially if there is a need to move to remote learning in response to the pandemic) to ensure they result in good outcomes for pupils in all vulnerable groups, and to review the curriculum considering new performance measures
• To begin to build in more opportunities for pupils to learn about different cultures and black history and map these against the national curriculum

The School will update all published equality documentation annually and will publish its objectives at least every four years.
