Equality Duty

Millfields First School complies with the Public Sector Equality Act. Information on the Equality Act can be requested from the school. Our equality objectives are: To narrow the gap between the attainment of the lowest 20% of attainers and the nationally expected level and further develop and widen children’s understanding of the nature of modern Britain.
