Equality Information and Objectives
Public Sector Equality Duty
(Updated September 2023)
Public Sector Equality Duty
The Equality Act 2010 requires us to publish information that demonstrates that we have due regard for the need to:
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 2010
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
St. Wulstan’s R.C. Primary is an inclusive school where we focus on the well-being and progress of every child and where all members of our community are of equal worth.
We believe that the Equality Act provides a framework to support our commitment to valuing diversity, tackling discrimination, promoting equality and fostering good relationships between people. It also ensures that we continue to tackle issues of disadvantage and underachievement of different groups.
Our approach to equality is based on the following key principles:
- All learners are of equal value
- We recognise and respect difference
- We foster positive attitudes and relationships and a shared sense of cohesion and belonging.
- We observe good equalities practice in staff recruitment, retention and development.
- We aim to reduce and remove inequalities and barriers that already exist.
- We have the highest expectations of all our children.

Information on pupils by protected characteristics
The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics. Every person has several of the protected characteristics, so the Act protects everyone against unfair treatment.
We also access Picture News. Picture News is a weekly news discussion resource, to encourage children to talk about what's happening in the world! Weekly current affairs packs for schools are delivered to school encouraging curiosity about local and global issues. There are 'big questions', virtual assemblies and resources for children aged 3-16. Picture News develops critical thinking skills, helps children to find their voice and to treat others with respect and empathy so they can make the choice to become passionate, responsible global citizens. https://www.picture-news.co.uk/
