At Wild Bank Primary School, we believe every child deserves to feel valued, respected and supported. Equality and inclusion are at the heart of everything we do. This means we work hard to ensure all pupils, regardless of their background, ability or individual needs, have the opportunity to succeed and thrive.
Our Commitment
We are committed to promoting equality and diversity and ensuring compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) under the Equality Act 2010.
This duty requires us to:
- Eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
- Advance equality of opportunity for all.
- Foster good relations between different groups within our school community.
Equality Objectives
In line with statutory requirements, we set measurable equality objectives and review them at least every four years. Our current objectives are:
- Improve accessibility for pupils with SEND by enhancing classroom resources and adapting facilities.
- Reduce attainment gaps between disadvantaged pupils and their peers through targeted interventions and support.
- Promote diversity and inclusion across the curriculum and through whole-school events celebrating different cultures and backgrounds.
How We Meet the Duty
We take practical steps to promote equality and inclusion by:
- Delivering an inclusive curriculum that reflects diversity.
- Monitoring pupil attainment, progress and participation to identify and address barriers to achievement.
- Providing appropriate support and reasonable adjustments for pupils with SEND.
- Implementing robust anti-bullying policies and procedures.
- Providing staff training on equality and anti-discrimination.
- Engaging with parents, carers and the wider community to foster positive relationships.
