Equality Statement

At First Steps Together, we are committed to fostering equity and equality in education, ensuring that every child has an equal opportunity to thrive and succeed. We believe in creating an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated, and all students are valued and respected.

​

We actively promote equity in education by providing tailored support and accommodations to meet the individual needs of our students. Through our dedicated staff and inclusive teaching practices, we ensure that every learner has access to quality education that maximizes their potential.

​

Our commitment to equality is deeply rooted in our values as a Rights Respecting School. We actively teach and uphold the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), promoting respect, dignity, and fairness for all. By embedding these principles into our daily routines, curriculum, and interactions, we foster a school culture that embraces diversity and celebrates the rights and identities of every student.

​

In addition, we adhere to the SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) Code of Practice, which guides our provision of support for students with special educational needs. We strive to create an inclusive learning environment that addresses individual needs, promotes independence, and removes barriers to learning.

​

We also align our practices with the core British values of democracy, respect, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect. These values form the foundation of our inclusive approach, promoting equality, tolerance, and understanding among our students.

​

First Steps Together are committed to supporting all members of our school community regardless of Age, Disability, Gender Reassignment, Marriage and Civil partnerships, Pregnancy and Maternity, Race, Religion or Beliefs, Sex and Sexual Orientation. 

​

At First Steps Together, we firmly believe that every child deserves an education that nurtures their talents, respects their rights, and allows them to thrive in a diverse and inclusive community. Join us on this journey of equality, where we empower students to become compassionate, globally minded citizens who contribute positively to society.
