Equalities

Public bodies are covered by the public sector equality duty in the Equality Act 2010.

​

At Burnhope Primary School we are committed to ensuring equality of provision throughout the school community. To achieve this, our equality objectives are as follows:

• To allow equal access to information for all stakeholders.

• Monitor and analyse pupil achievement by race, gender and disability and act on any trends or patterns in the data that require additional support for pupils.

• Diminish the difference between disadvantage and non disadvantaged pupils.

• Raise attainment for more able disadvantaged pupils.

• Ensure all pupils are given the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the life of the school e.g. through involvement in the School Council by election or co-option), class assemblies, fund raising etc.

• Identify, respond and report racist incidents as outlined in the Plan. Report the figures to the Governing body / Local Authority on a termly basis.

• To increase attendance and punctuality of pupil premium pupils across the school.
