Clavering Primary School – Date completed: March 2017

Equality Group members:

Rosalind Allsop (Head teacher), Jonathan Hill (Vice Chair and Parent) and Alison Course (Religious Education and Community Cohesion)

Schools are required to publish equality information and analysis on an annual basis. This information will contribute to the schools equality objectives, which must also be published.

Section 1 – Who Comes to Our School?

Here is some information about our school population.  These are the groups we need to plan services for; we regard this aspect of our work as very important; the information also helps us to meet our duties under the Equality Act 2010.   As a school our main function is to provide good access to educational opportunities and help/support our pupils to perform well at school.  We have to make sure we do not disadvantage anyone in our school and we use the following information to help us.  We also welcome your views.

This information is taken from our School Census January 2017 (which does not include children under 5)

Section 2 – Advance Equality of Opportunity between People

The main thing we do as a school is to provide access to good educational opportunities and to promote achievement and attainment for everyone who comes to our school.  We use information (data) to help us do this.

Information we have considered:

Attainment Data

This is how our school compares against National attainment figures at the end of Year 6 (Key Stage 2) 2016

This is how different groups in our School achieve at the end of Year 6 (Key Stage 2) 2015 (18 children)

Section 3 and 5 – Foster Good Relations between People.  Participation and Engagement

We want our school community to provide a welcoming and comfortable environment for all who come here.  We want to foster an open environment where people feel they are being treated with dignity and respect.

Section 4 – Eliminate Unlawful Discrimination, Harassment and Victimisation

Section 6: Our Equality Objectives

We have considered the information collected above and have identified 2 key objectives that our school will focus on this year. These objectives will help us to meet the three arms of the general duties required in the Equality Act 2010 to:

• Eliminate unlawful discrimination
• Advance equality of opportunity
• Foster good relations

Our equality objectives are:

1. To continue to further develop community cohesion – with a particular focus on Multicultural awareness through the curriculum
2. To continue to achieve our attendance target for all groups

* Equalities information will be updated annually and progress towards our objectives will be monitored and reviewed every year. In line with legislation, the objectives will be re-published formally, at least every 4 years.  We have a separate action plan and school policy that looks at the objectives in more detail.
