At Dosthill Primary Academy, we are committed to fulfilling our responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010 and the public sector equality duty. As part of the Fierté Multi-Academy Trust, we strive to promote equality, eliminate discrimination, and foster good relations among all members of our community.

We work to ensure that everyone - regardless of race, disability, gender, age, religion or belief, sexual orientation, pregnancy, maternity, or gender reassignment - has the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and inclusive environment.

Our Commitment to Equality In line with the Equality Act 2010, Dosthill Primary Academy actively:

• Eliminates discrimination, harassment, and victimisation.
• Advances equality of opportunity between those who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
• Fosters positive relationships and understanding between individuals from diverse backgrounds.

Our Equality Objectives To meet our obligations, we have set the following specific and measurable equality objectives, which are reviewed annually and updated every four years:

1. Eliminating Discrimination
   We aim to ensure that all school policies, including behaviour and safeguarding, explicitly address the importance of eliminating discrimination.
    
2. Advancing Equality of Opportunity
   We are committed to closing the attainment gaps for pupils with protected characteristics, including those with special educational needs, disabilities, and those from disadvantaged backgrounds.
    
3. Fostering Good Relations
   We aim to enhance cultural awareness and mutual respect through a diverse curriculum and extracurricular activities that celebrate differences.
    
4. Ensuring Equality in Decision-Making
   Equality considerations will be embedded in all significant school decisions, ensuring that all events and activities are inclusive and accessible.
