Statement of intent

Astley CE Primary School recognises that certain groups in society can be disadvantaged because of unlawful discrimination they may face due to their race, sex, disability, gender reassignment, marriage or civil partnership, religion or belief, sexual orientation, age, or pregnancy and maternity.

The school has a statutory duty to publish an Equality Information and Objectives Statement. This policy sets out how the school determines its equality objectives.

Equality Objectives

While aiming to continuously improve the implementation of equality-related policies and procedures, and ensuring that due regard is always taken of the impact of actions and decisions on pupils and staff with particular characteristics, Astley CE Primary School has established the following objectives for the period 2023–2027:

(a) Ensure that the progress and attendance of pupils with disabilities is at least in line with that of other pupils.

(b) Increase opportunities to promote diverse cultures and lifestyles within the curriculum.

Accessibility

In living out our school vision and values, we are committed to providing a fully accessible and inclusive environment for all pupils, staff, parents and visitors, regardless of their educational, physical, sensory, social, spiritual, emotional or cultural needs.

We are also committed to challenging negative attitudes towards disability and accessibility in order to develop and maintain a culture of awareness, tolerance and inclusion.

Our Accessibility Plan outlines how we are improving access to the curriculum, physical environment and information for all pupils.
