Equality objectives

Under the Equality Act 2010 public bodies must publish an equality objective or objectives.

The Equality Act of 2010 says that schools and other public bodies must:

• Encourage good relations and ensure everyone has equality of opportunity.

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.

• Help make sure everyone has an equal chance to make the most of their lives and talents.

Equality Objectives at John Randall Primary School

• Objective 1: The John Randall curriculum promotes our children’s spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through our broad and enriched curriculum with Equality and Diversity at its heart
• Objective 2: Our Continuous Professional Development challenges the understanding of equality and diversity and its implications on a day-to-day basis, and in this way reduces or removes inequalities in attainment throughout the school, particularly inequalities relating to the nine protected characteristics

In line with our duties under the Equality Act, we assess our existing practices in relation to equality and the protected characteristics (Age, Disability, Race, colour, nationality or ethnicity, Sex, Gender reassignment, Maternity and pregnancy, Religion and belief, Sexual orientation, Marriage and civil partnership) and consider objectives to help us improve further.
