Equality Objectives

At St George's CE Infant and Preschool, we understand we have a duty to ensure our children grow up living our school values of Community, Compassion, Commitment, Courage and Love, demonstrating an acceptance for all, regardless of difference.  St George's currently has 174 children on roll (September 2023) 60% of these children are White British, the other 40% are from different ethnic groups including 14% identifying as Indian and 8% identifying as any other White British. 17% of our children on roll are entitled to Pupil Premium funding. We celebrate difference, acknowledging the importance of educating our children so they are informed individuals, capable of making wise choices.  Therefore our targets are:

1. To monitor and analyse the attainment levels of all pupils to ensure that these are maintained at expected levels regardless of ethnicity, religion, disability or gender.
2. To give our pupils an understanding of the diversity within societies and how others' lives can enrich our own, with an awareness of the nature of prejudice towards diversity and how it can be combated.
3. To educate our pupils as global citizens with the strength and confidence to challenge unfairness and injustice wherever it is found.
