Equality

Joseph’s Catholic Primary School is required to set specific and measurable equality objectives. The development of these objectives has taken into account pupil data, attainment levels, evidence of any equality issues across all of our functions, issues that may be affecting people with protected characteristics and also acknowledged the three aims of the ‘general’ equality duty. These objectives have been agreed with the Academy Council, of whom Mrs Catherine Murphy is the Chair.

Our objectives are set out below:

• Prepare the school community for living in a diverse cultural world.
• Develop the equality knowledge and skills of staff and governors through relevant training.
• To support and encourage SEND students to ensure they are as fully able as possible to participate in the school’s activities.
• Communications with pupils and parents are offered in clear and easily understood formats.
