Inclusion and Equality at All Saints

At All Saints CE Junior Academy, we believe every child should feel accepted and valued, regardless of age, gender, ability, special educational needs, disability, ethnicity, or background. Our inclusive ethos is at the heart of everything we do.

We are proud to have received the IQM Inclusive School Award, which praised our strong commitment to inclusion. The report stated:
“There is a sense of belonging, cohesion and acceptance wherever you go in the school, with all staff knowing and caring about individual children and their families.”

This recognition reflects the way we work together to create a safe, supportive environment where every child can thrive.

We follow the Equalities Policy, ensuring that children with behavioural difficulties linked to a disability are never discriminated against. Our Senior Leadership Team oversees this policy and reviews it regularly.

​​​Educational and welfare provision for pupils with EHC plans and pupils for whom English is an additional language:

• SEND Provision:
  We currently support 13 pupils with Educational Health Care (EHC) plans, working closely with East Sussex County Council and specialist agencies. Progress is monitored regularly, with interim targets set twice a year and an annual review for each child.
• EAL Pupils with EAL are identified and supported with learning plans which are based on their age and stage of English.
