Equal Opportunities
At Woodgrange we endeavour to meet the needs of everyone in our school. We believe in the inherent equality of all individuals, irrespective of physical or mental ability, gender or race, and reflect these both in the learning opportunities we offer the children and in the general manner in which all those who come into contact with our school are treated.
We wholeheartedly endorse the Borough’s Equal Opportunities policy.
Anti-Racist Statement
The school is opposed to any form of racism and racist behaviour. All children have the right to the best possible education. This means recognising the varied cultural backgrounds of the children and reflecting them in a positive way throughout the life of our school and our curriculum. We are determined that all children will see themselves and their lived experiences reflected and represented positively at school.
