Equality and Diversity Objectives

To reduce the attainment gap between different key groups of pupils, in particular the difference between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils.
To narrow the gap in attendance between different groups of pupils, including persistent absenteeism.
To reduce the number of fixed-term exclusions across all groups of pupils and address any difference identified.
To foster good relations further between different communities within the school and reduce the number of prejudice-related incidents.
To promote cultural understanding between different ethnic groups within our school community, through the different opportunities pupils have to work and learn together through the strategic delivery of our wider-learning strategy.

The term ‘group’ in the statements above refers to the following:

Disadvantaged pupils, boys/girls, pupils with special educational needs and pupils with English as an additional language.

All pupil information is systematically analysed to make evaluative comparisons between the groups.
