Inclusion at Stanton Cross

At Stanton Cross Primary School we are committed to providing a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that is appropriate to each individual child. As a school, we will ensure the curriculum enables our children to achieve their best, become confident individuals living fulfilling lives and make a successful transition into adulthood.

We want to make sure that every child gets the best support we can offer to help them enjoy their learning, feel happy and safe at school and make the best possible progress.

If a child needs additional support, we will work together to put in place a bespoke plan, tailored to their needs. This support will be monitored and reviewed in liaison with parents and carers and the child.

Our Inclusion Lead is Ms J Griggs. She can be contacted on 01933 594049 or by email on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Equality

The Equality Act 2010 replaced all existing equality legislation such as the Race Relations Act, Disability Discrimination Act and Sex Discrimination Act, and provides a single, consolidated source of discrimination law, covering all the types of discrimination that are unlawful. It simplifies the law by removing anomalies and inconsistencies that had developed over time in the existing legislation, and it extends the protection from discrimination in certain areas.

The Single Equality Act reflects the Government’s commitment, ‘to narrowing gaps, and to tackling the barriers to equal opportunities and social mobility which hold individuals back, and bring heavy social and economic costs. Equality is central to building a strong economy and fairer society. It underpins the Coalition’s guiding principles of freedom, fairness and responsibility’.

The Government believes that they need to reform education to tackle educational inequality, which has widened in recent years. They believe, ‘that too many children are held back by disadvantage and discrimination. We want to build a fair society where social mobility is unlocked; where everyone, regardless of background, has the chance to succeed. We welcome the fact that the Equality Act gives us all an opportunity to do this in a more streamlined and effective way’.
