Halsford Park Primary School

Equality Objectives 2021-22 

The public sector equality duty (PSED) requires schools to prepare and publish equality objectives at least once every four years. The PSED was introduced by the Equality Act 2010 and applies to all schools, including maintained schools, academies, independent schools, maintained nursery schools, and maintained and non-maintained special schools.

Equality objectives are formulated from the School Improvement Plan 2021/2022. These objectives reflect the school’s ethos and values and will be updated annually.

Our Equality and Community Cohesion Policy aims to demonstrate our compliance with the Public Sector Equality Duty:
