Equality Objectives
Our current equality objectives were reviewed in Spring 2021 and are as follows:
Accessibility Plan
Short Term Priorities | |||
Target | Strategy | Outcome | Achieved |
Ensure that parents and carers with visual impairments have equal opportunity to access information from school | Highlight on all school documentation that goes to parents that it is available in larger print on request | Format of documentation altered appropriately | As required |
Parents with physical disabilities are welcomed into school and their needs are considered at events and visits | When we are aware of needs we will plan sensitively for them. This may include rearranging furniture and planning space appropriately | Parents and carers can be equally involved in school life and their child’s education | As required Now achieved for several parents - need to develop and ensure for new parents |
Ensure that the curriculum can be accessed by all children | Ensure that timetables and resources are not a barrier to any individual or group’s access to the curriculum | All children access all aspects of the curriculum | The school reacts to the needs of both adults and children so that the curriculum is accessible |
Medium Term Priorities | |||
Ensure that the school develops children’s awareness of disability | Ensure that there are learning resources which show positive images of people with disabilities. Invite people with disabilities into school - not necessarily but possibly to talk about their disability, e.g. Guide Dogs for the Blind. Include Paralympic and special Olympic sports in the PE curriculum | Pupils’ awareness and empathy increases | |
Long Term Priorities | |||
Access to year 6 classrooms | Work with appropriate specialists to deliver |
