At St Mary’s RC Primary School, we aim to offer excellence and choice to all our children, whatever their ability or needs. We want all our children to feel that they are a valued part of our community and we have high expectations for them all. We aim to achieve this through the removal of barriers to learning and participation by:
- Providing a secure and accessible environment in which all our children can flourish and in which all contributions are considered and valued
- Providing an appropriate curricular provision, that respects the fact that children:
- -have different educational and behavioural needs and aspirations
- -require different strategies for learning
- -acquire, assimilate and communicate information at different rates
- -need a range of different teaching approaches and experiences
- Including and valuing the contribution of all families to our understanding of equality and diversity
- Providing positive non-stereotyping information about gender roles, diverse ethnic and cultural groups and disabled people
- Improving our knowledge and understanding of issues of anti-discriminatory practice, promoting equality and valuing diversity
- Making inclusion a thread that runs through all of our activities
- Ensuring every child has the entitlement to a sense of achievement
