Anti-Racism

At Croft Community School we have an anti-racist approach. We want our pupils to:

  • Appreciate that all members of our school community, children and adults, have unique identities which include their ethnicity, gender, sex, sexuality, disability, class, and religion or belief
  • Understand stereotypes around race, class and gender, and language which is excluding, offensive, and discriminatory
  • Explore the history and patterns of power imbalances and discrimination, in age-appropriate ways
  • Promote positive mental health, wellbeing and belonging
  • Challenge inequalities and be agents of change

We have an anti-racist policy which aims to :

  • Make our school a safe welcoming place for everyone
  • Challenge all racism
  • Provide a curriculum that is positive for all cultures
  • Develop staff and pupil awareness of racism
  • Provide guidance
  • Diversify the curriculum to increase representation
