EQUALITY OF
EDUCATION

At CP Riverside, we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all students, staff, parents and carers receiving services from the school, irrespective of race, gender, disability, faith or religion or socio-economic background. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity, are able to participate fully in school life, and feel valued, cared for, and listened to. The development of a positive self-image, self-advocacy, respect for others and an awareness of the value of each individual’s contribution to the school community is an integral part of our ethos.

The achievement of pupils will be monitored by race, gender and disability, and we will use this data to support students, raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching. We will tackle discrimination through the positive promotion of equality, challenging bullying and stereotypes, and creating an environment that champions respect for all. We believe that diversity is a strength that should be respected and celebrated by all who learn, teach, and visit here.

To ensure education is accessible to those with specific educational needs, we have a comprehensive support system led by our Special Educational Needs Coordinator.

To promote an inclusive learning environment, we have an Accessibility Plan and Equality Objectives; both of which can be found in the Policies and Reports section of our website.
