Crow Lane Primary And Foundation Stage School

Equality

Crow Lane is committed to equality.

In this respect:

• We ensure that everyone in school is treated fairly and with respect.
• We recognise that people have different needs and that treating people equally does not always involve treating everyone in exactly the same way.
• We ensure that school is a safe place for everyone.
• We consult with people from different groups and involve them in our decision making.
• We recognise that extra support is needed for some pupils to help them achieve their full potential and be successful.

Legislative Framework

We are aware of the current legislative framework.

We welcome our duty under the Education and Inspection Act 2006 to promote Community Cohesion.

The School is bound by the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) of the Equality Act 2010 and the Specific Duty.  To comply with this Duty:

• We maintain and publish quantitative and qualitative information showing our compliance with the PSED set out in Clause 149 of the Equality Act, to explain how we have due regard for equality.
• We publish information each year about our school population.
• We formulate and publish specific and measurable objectives, based on our collected and published evidence, which demonstrate how we plan to tackle inequalities and reduce or remove them.
• The objectives we identify, take into account national and local priorities and issues, as appropriate.
• We monitor our equality objectives regularly and report annually on progress towards achieving them.

We aim to make sure that no-one experiences less favourable treatment or discrimination because of:

   **age               **disability            **ethnicitycolour or national origin             **gender                   **gender identity or reassignment        **religious beliefs 

  **their marital or civil partnership status              **being pregnant or having recently had a baby               **sexual identity and orientation.
