Differences and similarities celebrated
Equal opportunities for all
Involved, valued, welcomed and safe
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion are the key elements required to ensure a fair and culturally rich society. At Caldmore Primary Academy we are totally committed to ensuring that we provide such an environment, so all our children are able to thrive and live happy successful lives.
At Caldmore Primary Academy we strive to treat each member of our community as an individual; to make each individual feel valued and to teach our pupils to do the same. Trying to achieve this for all our pupils involves us learning what we all have in common as well as celebrating our many differences. We recognise that children learn best in an environment where everyone feels safe, valued, and welcome in an inclusive way. We believe everyone has the same rights but have individual needs and it is vital to ensure that all aspects of school life are ‘fair’ and appropriate and not necessarily always the same for everyone.
We teach the children about equality, diversity and inclusion embedded throughout the curriculum, through regular opportunities in assembly, educational visits, visitors and we aim to reflect these values in our day to day interactions with the children.
We teach children about insults and suitable language and the impact of prejudicial language. We make every effort to make our playgrounds safe and enjoyable places to be. We place a high priority on regular training of staff in areas such as first aid and positive handling techniques. We value our ‘Pupil Voice’ input and their views and opinions are regularly sought in a variety of ways with equality, diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.
