Longnor CE Primary School is committed to equality and valuing diversity. We actively support practices that promote genuine equality of opportunity for all staff, volunteers, parents and young people.
Longnor CE Primary School aims to:
Create an environment in which individual differences and the contributions of all staff are recognised and valued
Provide every employee with a working environment that promotes dignity and respect to all, where employees feel able to challenge behaviour and attitudes which are contrary to the policy.
Ensure that no form of intimidation, bullying or harassment will be tolerated and cases will be dealt with swiftly and fairly. The Bullying and Harassment Policy is available to complainants and the Disciplinary Policy may be instigated against perpetrators.
Ensure training, development and progression opportunities are available to all staff. Review all its employment practices and procedures to ensure fairness.

Special Educational Needs & Disability
The school’s Special Educational Needs & Disability policy is based on the following principles:
- That all children are entitled to an inclusive, broad and balanced curriculum.
- That all teachers are teachers of children with Special Educational Needs & Disability and have a responsibility to meet those needs with the advice and support of the school co-ordinator and external professionals; as appropriate.
- That needs will be identified at an early stage and progress monitored in line with the national Code of Practice.
- That pupils with Special Educational Needs & Disability will be fully integrated into the life of the school, enabling them to maximise their potential as learners and to contribute to the social and cultural activities of the school.
Pupils with Disabilities
Governors have taken a number of steps to prevent disabled pupils from being treated less favourably than others. They have adopted an Accessibility Plan to ensure that all children have access to the curriculum and to the physical environment of the school.
