Equality
Equality objectives to be reviewed before March 2026
1 To further develop children's understanding, tolerance and appreciation of diversity in our community (at all levels - school, national, world).
2 To further promote pupils understanding of identity, diversity, community and equality, through a culturally inclusive curriculum which celebrates equality and diversity.
3 Ensure school's approach to mental health and behaviour is part of a consistent whole school approach to mental health and wellbeing.
4 Introduce CPOMs and Staff Safe software for monitoring child protection, safeguarding and pastoral and welfare issues - on-line management and recording of child protection, behaviour, bullying and other safeguarding areas of concern.
