Equality Objectives

PGHS Equality Objectives:

In achieving compliance with the Act, objectives are reviewed and set annually. Based on thorough self-evaluation, detailed below are the school’s current set of overriding objectives:

Objective Group	Objective
Quality of Education	Further reduce the gap in both achievement and attainment between disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged students. Routinely monitor and evaluate the minimum entitlement of every student to a rich and varied co-curriculum.
Behaviour and Attitudes	Further diminish the in-school gap in attendance for key groups including SEND and disadvantaged. Continue to improve the behaviour of identified vulnerable students so it is in line with the rest of school.
Personal Development	Continued evaluation of our personal development curriculum, seeking opportunities where possible to deepen cultural understanding and awareness of different beliefs and life choices within the school community and beyond.
Leadership and Management	As part of subject reviews, line managers to quality assure curriculum content to ensure it reflects the diversity of our school community.

The school’s leaders accept and welcome their responsibility to have due regard in decision making and actions to the possible implications for the students with particular protected characteristics. They will consider equality implications before and at the time that they develop policy and take decisions.
