Equality Statement

Equality is very important to CIT and our intent is to create a culture which celebrates diversity
and champions equality and inclusion. We ensure that we are mindful of equality and compliant
with the legislation in all our policies and procedures. It is the Trust’s culture, ethos and values
which provide the foundations upon which policy and practice are built.

As a Multi-Academy Trust, we have chosen to have a set of overarching equality objectives that
we will look to achieve over the next four years. The Trust Board monitors progress towards
achieving these objectives through aligning them to the Trust’s Strategic Plan and a range of
reporting methods. Each of our schools has adopted the same set of objectives and their Local
School Boards (LSBs) are tasked with monitoring the progress made by their school towards
these objectives – within the remit of their own context and communities.

We have formed these objectives by identifying what is important for us as a Trust to focus on
for both our pupils and our staff over the next four years.
