Statement of Intent for Supporting Equality

At Our Lady Star of the Sea we are committed to equality. We aim for every pupil to fulfil their potential no matter what their needs. Our School is committed to anti-discriminatory practice to promote equality of opportunity and valuing diversity for all children and families. We aim to:

  • Provide a secure and accessible environment in which all our children can flourish and in which all contributions are considered and valued.
  • Include and value the contribution of all families to our understanding of equality and diversity
  • Provide positive non-stereotyping information about gender roles, diverse ethnic and cultural groups and disabled people
  • Improve our knowledge and understanding of issues of anti-discriminatory practice, promoting equality and valuing diversity
  • Make inclusion a thread that runs through all of the activities of the school

Our Lady Star of Sea prides itself in being very inclusive and will endeavour to support every child regardless of their level of need. All pupils follow the National Curriculum at a level and a pace that is appropriate to their abilities. At times and when it is felt appropriate, modifications to the curriculum may be implemented.

  • To successfully match pupil ability to the curriculum there are some actions we may take to achieve this:
  • Ensure that all pupils have access to the school curriculum and all school activities
  • Help all pupils achieve to the best of their abilities, despite any difficulty or disability they may have
  • Ensure that teaching staff are aware of and sensitive to the needs of all pupils, teaching pupils in a way that is more appropriate to their needs
  • Pupils to gain in confidence and improve their self-esteem
  • To work in partnership with parents/ carers, pupils and relevant external agencies in order to provide for children’s special educational needs and disabilities
  • To identify at the earliest opportunity, all children that need special consideration to support their needs (whether these are educational, social, physical or emotional)
  • To make suitable provision for children with SEND to fully develop their abilities, interests and aptitudes and gain maximum access to the curriculum
  • Ensure that all children with SEND are fully included in all activities of the school in order to promote the highest levels of achievement
  • To promote self worth and enthusiasm by encouraging independence at all age and ability levels
  • To give every child the entitlement to a sense of achievement
  • To regularly review the policy and practice in order to achieve best practice

If you would like to discuss your SEND requirements in detail please contact the school to arrange an appointment.
