Equality at Wrockwardine Wood CE Juniors
The needs of our pupils will be identified at the earliest possible stage and we will support them to reach their full potential. At Wrockwardine Wood CE Juniors we aim to give equal opportunities to children of all abilities including those who find learning a challenge, or those who have a physical, social or emotional difficulty. We believe that a child may have difficulty in one curriculum area whilst being able in another. All children deserve the opportunity to succeed and improve according to their aptitude and ability in all areas of the curriculum. We strive to provide an inclusive education for all.
As a school we have identified 3 key Equality Objectives that we will focus on until the end of the academic year 2026-2027:
Current Equality Objectives
Objective 1: To narrow the gap in ARE attainment in reading, writing and maths between children who are disadvantaged and those who are not.
Why – Higher percentages of children who are non-PPG currently achieve age-expected than those who are PPG.
How – Each class identifies individual children on Pupil Progress Grids to target support to close the gap. Interventions to support the progress and attainment in reading, writing and maths are primarily aimed at children with SEND and underachieving PPG children (See PPG strategy for more specific support in place).
Objective 2: To raise the percentage of PPG children achieving GDS across reading, writing and maths.
Why – Not enough children who are PPG achieve greater depth in reading, writing or maths at the end of KS2.
How – Each class identifies individual children on Pupil Progress Grids to target each term to increase the number of PPG children achieving greater depth. Quality first teaching, interventions and increased adult time will support this progress. (See PPG strategy for more specific support in place).
Objective 3: To encourage cultural understanding and awareness of different beliefs between different ethnic groups.
Why – Our school has a high percentage of children who are White British and we want them to be prepared to grow up in a modern Britain.
How – British Values training (PD Day), RE Curriculum coverage, Religious Visits both in and out of school, Coverage in the RSE and PSHE Curriculum, Awareness Days, Worship topics.
