We consider we do well against this aim. Our Christian Ethos and Aims support this work as well as our approach to pastoral support and our curriculum which ensures pupils are educated about discrimination and victimisation in its various forms, at an age appropriate level.
We encourage participation in sport for those with disability through inclusive sports activities and through engagement in residential visits and other activities.
We have a Parents Forum, offer Meet the Teacher and family learning sessions, have an open door approach and also have a senior leader on the playground gate most days. Links with the local community are nurtured eg through the involvement of St Thomas' Church in developing the Christian ethos of the school or the group of volunteers from local businesses such as Knauf Insulation and local charities such as Children's Charity Merseyside.
St Mary & St Thomas Primary School, as part of our commitment and prioritisation of Equality for all, have an Equality Scheme and action plan, which can be downloaded via the school website.
