Conscious Inclusion
At St James Primary School, our aim is
- To create a school where all pupils can thrive together
- To understand that diversity is about recognising and respecting differences to create an inclusive environment rooted in openness and humility
- To have courage and knowledge to be able to discuss and combat racism and discrimination
- To ensure that diversity and inclusion includes a curriculum that liberates and empowers pupils
We aim to do this through
- Provision of an inclusive curriculum, drawing on the rich heritage of our multicultural society across all subjects and throughout the year
- Teaching and learning accurately represents Britain’s diverse past and the society in which we live today
- Promote, through teaching, workshops and external speakers, an anti-racist and proactive approach, challenging all forms of bias
- Promote high aspirations and opportunities for all children, addressing any inconsistencies found through close monitoring
- Develop links and draw on expertise from within the local community
