EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES
Our Equal Opportunities Policy
states:
All men and women are of
equal importance in the sight of God and should be
equally accorded the respect and dignity due to the
children of God. It follows that the school believes
that equality of opportunity is the entitlement of
all children regardless of ability, social class,
race or gender.
This policy is further supported
by the school's Race Equality Policy, Disability
Discrimination Policy and Inclusion Policy.
INCLUSION
"Schools have a
responsibility to provide a broad and balanced
curriculum for all pupils" (National Curriculum
2000).
The essence of this statement is
included in the School's Mission Statement, that all
children be educated to reach their fullest potential in
a truly Catholic community which is centred upon the
life and teachings of Christ and the Catholic Church.
The school is committed to inclusion,
to provide effective learning situations for all pupils
and to have high expectations of everyone.. |
