Equality at Bretherton
Bretherton Endowed CE Primary School is committed to ensuring we adhere to the Equality Act 2010.
Full details can be found in our Single Equality Policy and our Equality Action plan.
In 2022 - 2023 Bretherton will continue to focus on our work on Diversity and Equality and will commence the Lancashire County Council Equality and Diversity Award. Over 12 month, we will audit and plan to maximise our children's knowledge and understanding of this important area.
The Lancashire Equality Mark is awarded to schools who have taken measures to embed Equality throughout their practice with the goal of enabling all pupils to thrive in a supportive learning community. It has been developed by a working group in Lancashire and provides a clear framework to guide schools through the process of auditing, developing and consolidating good practice in different areas of Equality. It builds on and extends the good practice of the Lancashire Race Equality Mark The Equality Mark comprises now comprises of six individual Equality Badges:

When a school achieves all six badges they will be awarded the Equality Mark. Schools determine their own pathway through the framework by identifying meaningful priorities that will make a difference in the area of equality in their school community and willsupport their wider development plans. Schools can work at their own pace and they can choose from a range of packages of support to meet their individual requirements.
In 2021 2022 we included a diversity project through Prags through Cultural Education where our children designed a piece of artwork that emphasised our inclusivity. Our brilliant canvas is displayed in our school hall.
