Introduction

Given the potential cultural isolation of Cornwall, we are dedicated to ensuring children are educated around all Protected Characteristics. As part of this, we made a conscious decision to ensure year wide coverage of these characteristics throughout the curriculum rather than taking the approach of celebration months/weeks for particular areas. As part of this, the following information shows the coverage of the curriculum for all of these characteristics, throughout the year, for all areas of learning.
