1 St Michaels CE (A) First School, Nursery and Out of School Club Accessibility Policy Vision Statement: St. Michaels C.E. (A) First School, Nursery and Out of School Club will be a safe, happy and inclusive place that encourages the enthusiasm and joy of learning which will be underpinned by Christian Values. This will prepare our children for the 21st century. Introduction The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect disabled people and prevent disability discrimination. It provides legal rights for disabled people in all areas of life including education. It is unlawful for a school to treat disabled people unfavourably. Under this Act a person has a disability if they have a physical or mental impairment which has a substantial and long term adverse effect on their ability to perform normal day-to-day activities. Unfavourable treatment could include direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, discrimination arising from a disability and harassment. The Act contains further guidance on the meanings of these definitions. In addition the Special Educational Needs (SEN) Code of Practice gives practical guidance on how to identify and assess children with Special Educational Needs. Since 1 January 2002 Local Educational Authorities and schools have been obliged to take account of this Code. School Site: St Michael s is an old school that has been built on a split site on two different levels. The school underwent major remodelling in The new main entrance links both parts of the school to make one safe secure building that can only be accessed by visitors from the main entrance. There is a purpose built ramp leading to the main entrance which has automatic doors to allow easy access for wheelchairs. During remodelling work a disabled lift was installed to allow easy access from the original main building to the lower building as well as a disabled toilet. The governors will review mobility and access issues relating to the building each year at the Governors Finance and Premises committee. Access to learning St Michael s is committed to providing all children every opportunity to achieve their potential in every aspect of school life. When a request is received from parents or the Local Authority for a pupil to attend the school, Nursery or Out of School Club professional advice from Support Services and other relevant professionals will be sought when necessary, to enable an assessment of the individual s needs to be made. This will include access to the various parts of the school and the requirements of the National or Early Years Curriculum. Parents and carers of pupils with disabilities will be consulted to identify and where possible, remove any obstacles to learning. Such obstacles could include physical, sensory, learning difficulties or emotional or social development as well as the learning environment experienced within the school.
2 The Staff at St Michael s School, Nursery and Out of School Club value pupils of different abilities. The Early years and National Curriculum will be implemented to meet the specific needs of individuals and groups of children by :- setting suitable learning challenges, including individual education plans (IEP) responding to children s diverse learning needs, overcoming potential barriers to learning for individuals and groups of pupils, by accessing adult support, intervention programmes, tailored speech and language therapy programmes, use of Information and Computer Technology (ICT) and visual aids, ensuring individuals are able to access other curricular opportunities outside the National Curriculum such as school trips, after school clubs and special events; sports days, visits to story tellers etc. When planning their work, the staff will take in to account the abilities and needs of all the children and provide differentiated work accordingly. This may involve modifying learning objectives, teaching styles and access strategies. Monitoring of progress will be carried out by class teachers, the Head teacher, SEN Coordinators and Literacy/Numeracy Advisers as appropriate and used to inform future planning of provisions to meet each individual s needs. This could include applying for examination concessions when appropriate. Most written information is presented in different formats to make it accessible. This includes: differentiation of class work and homework tasks visual presentation of information and timetables use of appropriate fonts and font sizes. The school will access translation services and Braille copies if required. Monitoring We recognise that monitoring is essential to ensure that students with disabilities are not being disadvantaged and that monitoring leads to action planning. We will monitor: Admissions Attainment Attendance Behaviour Exclusions Effects of literacy and numeracy interventions Extra-curricular activities Homework Selection and recruitment of staff Governing body representation Parents/carers attending consultation meetings Parents/carers involvement in the life of the school This Accessibility Policy will be:
3 reviewed annually by the Finance and Premises committee which will make appropriate recommendations to the Governing Body and the Head Teacher incorporated into the School Development Plan shared with all members of staff available from the School Office.
