| The John Bramston School values the views of all its
members and equal opportunities are the responsibility of the whole
school; achieved through its structure and curriculum. The school
provides positive action, in the form of attention or resources,
to assist those who might otherwise be disadvantaged, as individuals
or as groups, in order to remove barriers or change past inequalities.
The school's administrative procedures are based on relevant criteria,
which avoid discrimination on the ground of race, gender, age or
disability. The staff strive to ensure that all curriculum experiences
are appropriate and relevant to students. The school is committed
to the full integration of all students, including those with special
educational needs for whom learning support is provided. Staff are
aware of and, where appropriate, make provision for students' particular
religious practices, diet and dress requirements without isolating
any student from activities shared with other students. As a result
of the practices described above, a climate of mutual respect is
created within the classroom.
The John Bramston School is committed to furthering parental involvement.
Parents are welcomed into the school and regularly notified of
changes and developments in its policies. The school recognises
the importance of strong and positive links with feeder schools
to ensure a successful transition for all prospective students.
The school maintains the practice of selecting the most suitable
person for each post available; suitability taking precedence over
any other consideration. The John Bramston School is committed
to providing equality of opportunity to all its staff, both teaching
and non-teaching and places a high priority on career development
and training for all staff. Attention is focused on the timing
of courses and meetings to ensure access for all.
The Equal Opportunities policy is regularly monitored and reviewed. |
