Disability Discrimination Act
Advice from the LA will be requested in order that
staff have adequate training and support to further progress the education of
children with disabilities and to meet their physical and pastoral needs.
The school recognises that many
of its students, visitors and staff, whether disabled or otherwise, have
individual needs when using school and facilities. However, we also recognise that for some
students, the nature of their disabilities may mean that they experience
specific difficulties related to accessing education, and the physical
environment. As part of the ongoing
commitment to the delivery of an inclusive educational service, we will
endeavour to ensure that disabled students receive the same standards of
education as non-disabled students.
We fulfil all of the
requirements of the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) and aim that our school is fully inclusive of all pupils within
the physical confines of the building. An accessibility plan has been developed
and is reviewed annually. At present physical access to the lower ground of the
school building is possible without the need to negotiate steps. Two disabled
toilets are also provided on the ground floor.
