Accessibility Plan
Under the Equality Act 2010 schools are required to have an Accessibility Plan. The Equality Act 2010 ensures that schools cannot unlawfully discriminate against pupils because of sex, race, disability, religion or belief and sexual orientation. According to the Equality Act 2010 a person has a disability if:
(a) He or she has a physical or mental impairment, and
(b) The impairment has a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day-to-day activities.
The Accessibility Plan is also listed as a statutory document on the Department for Education’s guidance on statutory policies for schools.
The aims of our Accessibility Plan are to:
- · Improve and maintain access to the physical environment
- · Increase access to the curriculum for pupils with a disability
- · Improve the delivery of information to pupils and parents
