Equality, Diversity & Accessibility

Wistow Parochial CE Primary School welcomes our duties under the Equality Act 2010, and in our responsibilities in regard to the Public Sector Equality Duty –  to eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and to foster good relations for all.  We are also fully committed to meeting our responsibilities in regards to promoting British Values, and other similar equality initiatives and meet the expectations of the Special Educational Needs Code of practise 2014.

Equality Objectives           

At the Wistow School, we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff, parents and carers, irrespective of age, race, gender, disability, belief, religion, relationship, or socio-economic background.

In order to further support pupils, promote our protected characteristics, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching, we

have set the following objectives:

• To ensure that our pupils understand protected characteristics and how we do not discriminate in school and take this knowledge out into the world, to support how they conduct themselves and live out their lives, respectfully and inclusively.

• To monitor and analyse pupil achievement by race, gender and disability and act on any trends or patterns in the data that require additional support for pupils

• To raise levels of attainment in core subjects for vulnerable learners

• To review levels of parental and pupil engagement in learning and school life, across all activities to ensure equity and fairness in access and engagement

• Narrow the gaps in attainment in all areas of learning between SEND and non - SEND pupils

• To increase understanding between different religious groups by gaining a deeper understanding of diverse religions

• All staff to have a greater understanding of the needs of children with mental health and wellbeing issues
