RED AWARD
Lighthouse School is committed to continuous improvement in Equality, Diversity and Inclusion.
As part of our membership of the Red Kite Alliance, school has registered to work towards achieving the RED Award.
The RED Award stands for Respect, Equality and Diversity and has been developed to support schools to review, action and strengthen their provision in terms of equality, diversity and respect for individuals and community cohesion. Engagement with the award signals a clear commitment to place this agenda as a key focus at the heart of the culture and work of the school.
We are completing an assessment, which will lead to an action plan, meaning we will obtain a Certificate of Commitment by the end of this academic year. School will then work to complete the agreed Equality & Diversity action plan to achieve stage 2 and 3 and the overall accreditation over the next 2 years.
We see this as a fantastic opportunity for the school as it will enable us to reflect on the work already in place, with the view to extending and improving our focus on equality and diversity for the future.
This has been shared with and communicated to all staff, parents, students and trustees.
