Legislation around equalities, transparency and accountability requires all schools to publish a direct link from their websites to the Financial Benchmarking and Insights Summary dedicated to their school. The Financial Benchmarking and Insights Summary replaces Benchmarking Report Cards. This change is part of the recent improvements to the DfE’s financial benchmarking services.
All Local Authority-maintained schools must publish annually on their websites the number of individuals (if any) earning over £100k a year.
Legal Requirement: Schools are legally obligated to publish salary information for staff earning over £100,000 annually.
Transparency: This requirement aims to improve financial transparency within schools.
Website Publication: The information must be published on the school's website.

Equality Information and Objectives
Our Commitment
Longbenton High School is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusion. We aim to ensure that all members of our school community — pupils, staff, parents, and visitors — are treated fairly, with respect and dignity, and that we actively eliminate discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
We welcome our duties under the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) to have due regard to the need to:
Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment and victimisation.
Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and those who do not.
How We Comply with the Public Sector Equality Duty
At Longbenton High School, we:
Collect, monitor and analyse pupil achievement, attendance and behaviour data by key groups (e.g. SEND, gender, ethnicity, disadvantage) to identify and address any gaps.
Actively promote equality and inclusion through our curriculum, assemblies, ethos, and enrichment activities.
Ensure recruitment, professional development, and promotion processes are fair and inclusive.
Make reasonable adjustments for pupils, staff, and visitors with disabilities.
Regularly review policies (including behaviour, anti-bullying, and curriculum policies) to ensure they meet equality requirements.
Provide staff and governor training on equality, inclusion, and unconscious bias.
This information is reviewed and updated annually in line with statutory requirements.
Equality Objectives (2024–2028)
Curriculum Representation – Ensure that the curriculum, assemblies and displays reflect and celebrate diversity in modern Britain and represent the school’s community.
Reducing Gaps in Outcomes – Continue to monitor and close attainment and progress gaps for pupils with SEND, those eligible for Pupil Premium, and other vulnerable groups.
Inclusive Environment – Ensure that the physical environment, policies, and culture support full participation and belonging for all pupils, including those with disabilities or long-term health needs.
Community and Staff Engagement – Strengthen communication and consultation with pupils, parents and staff on equality issues through surveys and pupil voice.
These objectives will be reviewed every four years, with progress reported annually to the Governing Body.
