At Frogmore Infant School, we are fully committed to meeting our statutory duties under the Equality Act 2010. We take pride in promoting a culture of inclusion, fairness, and mutual respect, ensuring that all our children get the very best start in life regardless of their backgrounds or characteristics. 

We actively work to achieve three core aims:

• To eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation and other conduct under the Act;
• To advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not;
• To foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.

How Frogmore Infant School eliminates discrimination:

• Policies are in place to cover anti-bullying, behaviour, staff pay and appraisal.
• Governor meeting minutes show equality is discussed and relevant actions taken.
• Equality issues are recorded and presented to governors, with relevant action taken.
• Single equality objectives are identified and published. Actions are embedded into school improvement plans as appropriate.

How Frogmore Infant School advances equality of opportunity:

• Safer recruitment processes are in place, including panel selection and decision making that is removed from the 9 protected characteristics.
• Attainment data reviews different pupil groups e.g. gender, EAL and disadvantage. Relevant actions for specific pupil groups are built into action plans and school improvement.
• Bullying incidents are recorded and presented to governors, which shows very low incidence of bullying overall, but also specifically related to a protected characteristic.
• Accessibility plan in place, with adaptation for those with disability e.g. disabled toilet access for pupils and adults.

How Frogmore Infant School fosters good relationships:

• Relationships with parents fostered through clear, regular communications: either face-to-face, by letter and parents' evenings. This includes ad-hoc welcome meetings and individual meetings and/or discussions with parents where there is an additional needs.
• Assemblies are used to promote diversity, friendship, and understanding of a range of religions and cultures.
• By being a school with a genuine 'open door' policy
