Accessibility

We work hard to ensure that our ethos is such that, whatever the abilities and needs of members of our school community, everyone is equally valued and treated with respect. We provide all pupils with the opportunity to experience, understand and value diversity.

Where possible, the school has made arrangements to improve disabled access around the site, installing facilities such as a hoist in the school swimming pool, ramp access and widened doors.

Our accessibility policy and associated plan are drawn up in compliance with current legislation and requirements as specified in Schedule 10, relating to Disability, of the Equality Act 2010. School Governors are accountable for ensuring the implementation, review and reporting on progress of the accessibility plan over a prescribed period. Read our accessibility policy and plan here.

Behaviour information

We aim to promote and reward positive behaviour, self-motivation, self-discipline and a sense of responsibility for our own actions. Our golden rules are at the heart of school life. Click here for full details of our expectations and how we encourage everyone to meet them.

Equalities duties

Saltford C of E Primary School aims to provide a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of all children and promotes their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development. We are committed to equality; reflecting and valuing diversity.

As defined by the Act, as a public authority we must have due regard to the need to:

• eliminate discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct that is prohibited under the Act
• advance equality of opportunity between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it
• foster good relations between persons who share a relevant protected characteristic and persons who do not share it

As a school, we also have two specific duties to perform in relation to the Equality Act of 2010:

• to publish information which shows we have due regard for inequalities as defined by the Act
• to publish at least one equality objective and report annually on its progress

The Act states that we do not have to report information that may ‘identify’ individuals. Therefore, no staff data is presented here because our staffing numbers are below the threshold of one hundred and thirty.

Objectives

Using our extensive range of monitoring information, we have identified gaps and potential issues which are documented in a single Equality Action Plan that you can read here. Please also read our Single Equality Scheme Policy here.

Gifted and talented

At Saltford School we strive to identify, value and celebrate all the gifts, talents, skills and abilities of our children, and to help them realise their full potential as confident, independent and enthusiastic learners. 

The process of identification is set out more fully in the School Policy, but can be summarized as a combination of:

• formal tests
• teachers' assessments and knowledge of the child
• conversations with the child
• information provided by parents

Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)

At Saltford C of E Primary School, we are fully inclusive. We are committed to ensuring that all pupils achieve their potential in all areas.

Our SEN information report for 2023-24 gives you the information regarding the approaches we use to ensure all of our pupils are supported to make progress, realise their full potential and have the best possible life chances.
