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 race, gender, disability, belief, religion or socio-economic background.

In order to further support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching, we

have set the following objectives:

• 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
