Equality duties

The Meadows Primary School aims to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of all children and promotes their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We are committed to equality and to reflecting and valuing diversity.

Under the Equality Act 2010, as a public authority, we must have due regard to the need to:

• Eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Act.
• Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
• Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

Schools also have two specific duties under the Equality Act 2010:

• Publish information demonstrating how they meet their equality duties.
• Publish at least one equality objective and report annually on progress towards achieving it.

The Act does not require schools to publish information that could identify individuals. Staff data is therefore not included, as our staffing numbers are below the relevant reporting threshold.
