Date of Publication: September 2024

 

ELIMINATING DISCRIMINATION AND OTHER CONDUCT THAT IS PROHIBITED BY THE EQUALITY ACT 2010

  • Our Behaviour Policy and Anti-bullying Policy are available in the policy section .  Our Recruitment and Pay Policy are available upon request from the school reception.  In these policies, the importance of avoiding discrimination and other prohibited conduct is expressly noted;
  • Staff training on the Equalities Act 2010;
  • Monitoring of equality issues.  Baylis Court School currently has mechanisms and procedures in place in order to identify and monitor equality issues relating to pupils and staff.

ADVANCING EQUALITY AND OPPORTUNITY BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO SHARE A PROTECTED CHARACTERISTIC AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SHARE IT

  • We publish attainment data which shows how pupils with different characteristics are performing;
  • We have intervention classes to help pupils catch up in maths and boost English language skills of billingual children
  • We support pupils who are developing English language skills to enable them to access the curriculum where required.

FOSTERING GOOD RELATIONS ACROSS ALL CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN PEOPLE WHO SHARE A PROTECTED CHARACTERISTIC AND PEOPLE WHO DO NOT SHARE IT

  • Our shared school values includes kindness. Our behaviour expectations are based on respect for self and others. These values and expectations are communicated regularly and consistently through a variety of means.
  • Our PSHE curriculum and assemblies promote tolerance and acceptance of others. Our RE curriculum supports pupils to develop an understanding of the range of religions and cultures. Other curriculum areas also promote aspects of tolerance and friendship such as: English, Geography, History and Drama.
