Gainsborough Primary School

Equality Objectives

It is against the law to discriminate against anyone because of:

• age

• being or becoming a transsexual person

• being married or in a civil partnership

• being pregnant or on maternity leave

• disability

• race including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin

• religion, belief or lack of religion/belief

• sex

• sexual orientation

These are called ‘protected characteristics’.

The Gainsborough Equalities Objectives for 2024-2025 are:

• Objective 1:
  To ensure that all staff are developed to their full potential regardless of their starting points, any disability, gender, marital and civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity status, race, religion or belief or sex. This is to ensure all members of the team have an increased sense of belonging, ownership, agency, empowerment and efficiency.

• Objective 2:
  To further embed spiritual, moral, social and cultural development through all appropriate curricular opportunities, with particular reference to issues of equality and diversity. To ensure new DfE guidelines for the RSHE curriculum continue to be taught skillfully.

• Objective 3:

     To monitor and analyse pupil achievement and progress by key ethnicity groups, gender and SEND and act upon any trends or patterns in this data that require additional support for pupils.

Gainsborough Primary School publishes its Equality Objectives on a four year cycle in line with the Eko Trust Equalities policy.
