Equality Act Objectives 2022-2025
The general duties of the Equality Act 2010 are:

Gorse Covert Primary School is committed to ensuring equality of provision throughout the school community. To achieve this, our equality objectives for 2022-2025 are as follows:
- Develop a culturally inclusive curriculum which promotes equality and diversity and gender equality.
- Embed British Values of respect and tolerance
- Narrow the gap between advantaged and disadvantaged and all BME groups.
Gorse Covert Primary is an inclusive school and all children and parents are welcome regardless of their race, religion, disability or sexual orientation.
Our PSHE Curriculum covers LGBT+ and all other protected characteristics in a subtle and age-appropriate way. Below you can find our coverage of Protected Characteristics across our curriculum. We also do Picture News with the children which links the protected characteristics with real life, current news items.
Our Equality Policy and Objectives can be found in our policy section.
