Equality Objectives

Whilst continuously aiming to improve the implementation of equality related policies and procedures, Dartford Science and Technology College has established the following objectives for the college:

• To include equality characteristics in student surveys and parents/carers to identify whether different groups experience school differently, or have different views about the school.

• To promote cultural understanding and awareness of different religious beliefs between different ethnic groups within our school community. 

• To audit the involvement of student groups in ‘whole college life’ (extra-curricular opportunities such as clubs, residentials etc) and if necessary develop strategies to address engagement issues that are identified.

• To enable the College ‘experience’ to more closely reflect and celebrate the multicultural country in which students live.

• To promote cultural development and understanding through a rich range of experiences both in and beyond the college.
