Equality Objectives
Bidston Village CE Primary School is an inclusive school where we focus on the well-being and progress of every child and where all members of our community are of equal worth.
The Equality Act 2010 provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. It also ensures that we continue to tackle issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups.
Our approach to equality is based on the following key principles:
1. All learners are of equal value
2. We recognise and respect difference
3. We foster positive attitudes and relationships and a shared sense of cohesion and belonging.
4. We observe good equalities practice in staff recruitment, retention and development.
5. We aim to reduce and remove inequalities and barriers that already exist.
6. We have the highest expectations of all our children.
In order to support pupils, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching, we have set the following objectives.
To promote understanding and respect for differences.
To narrow the Pupil Premium gap in Reading, Writing and Maths in all year groups.
To improve provision for the increasing number of pupils with delayed speech and language and for those for whom English is an additional language, particularly new arrivals at the early stage of English acquisition, to enable them to have equal access to the curriculum.
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.
