West Leigh Infant School

At West Leigh Infant School our aims and objectives are:

• We do not discriminate against anyone, be they staff or child, on the grounds of their sex, race, colour, religion, nationality, ethnic or national origins.
• We promote the principles of fairness and justice for all through the education that we provide in our school.
• We ensure that all children have equal access to the full range of educational opportunities provided by the school.
• We constantly strive to remove any forms of indirect discrimination that may form barriers to learning.
• We ensure that all recruitment, employment, promotion and training systems are fair to all, and provide opportunities for everyone to achieve.
• We ensure the correct and appropriate procedures are used for the recruitment of all staff.
• We challenge stereotyping and prejudice whenever it occurs.
• We celebrate the cultural diversity of our community and show respect for all minority groups.
• We involve, as far as possible, representatives from diverse groups in school life.
• We are aware that prejudice and stereotyping is caused by low self-image and ignorance. Through positive educational experiences and support for each individual’s point of view, we aim to promote positive social attitudes and respect for all.
• We deal swiftly, effectively and firmly with any comments or incidents which are detrimental to the well being of others.
• We prepare our pupils to live in and contribute to a multi-faith, multi-cultural society. 

We work with other schools in order to share strengths and seek opportunities for improvement
