Inclusion

We aim to contribute fully to making Charles Read Academy a truly inclusive learning community.

We are committed to the 'Every Child Matters' agenda, the revised SEN Code of Practice and ensuring that discrimination in any form is avoided.

We aim to help our students to develop the social and academic skills each will require to successfully complete secondary education and move onto the next part of his or her life. Our intervention is based on individual need and fully embraces the academy's philosophy. We promise to make every effort to enable students to achieve their aims.

Charles Read Academy is committed to equality of opportunity and access and regards all students as having equal worth and importance, for all, regardless of:  

• Disability • Race • Religion or belief • Sex • Sexual orientation • Age • Gender reassignment • Pregnancy and maternity together, this is known as the “protected characteristics”.

Inclusion, equality and access of opportunity underpin our academy. We believe that the active promotion of diversity within the overarching equality of opportunity enriches the lives and experiences of all students at the school.
