Equality

The Equality Act 2010 introduced a Single Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) that applies to all public bodies including maintained schools. In carrying out their functions, public bodies are required to have regard to:

• Eliminate discrimination and other conduct prohibited by the act.

• Advance equality of opportunity between people.

• Foster good relationships across all characteristics.

 

To further the general duty the Government also introduced new specific duties which require schools to:

• Publish information to demonstrate how they are complying with the Public Sector Equality Duty

• Prepare and publish equality objectives.

 

The Headteacher, Senior Leadership Team and Governing Body at St John's Church of England Primary School regularly review the progress we are making to meet our equality objectives with regard to different groups (race, gender, disability, gender reassignment, age, pregnancy, marital status, sexual orientation, religion, belief and maternity) under the Equality Act (2010)​​​​
