Information on pupils by protected characteristics
The Equality Act 2010 protects people from discrimination on the basis of protected characteristics. Every person has several of the protected characteristics, so the Act protects everyone against unfair treatment.
In order to ensure that all pupils are protected from discrimination, the school collects information on protected characteristics.
Information on other groups of pupils
In addition to pupils with protected characteristics, we gather further information on the following groups of pupils:
•Pupils eligible for Free School Meals (FSM)
•Pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
•Disadvantaged group
•Pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL)
•Young carers
•Looked after children
•Other vulnerable groups
It may be possible to identify individuals from the information provided when the number of pupils with a particular characteristic is low and the information is sensitive personal information. In these cases we have indicated this by an asterisk*.
