Equality, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

Our Vision

At Scawsby Junior Academy, we are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of their background, feel safe, valued and respected.  We firmly believe that every student has the right to learn and thrive in a space free from discrimination and prejudice in a happy and nurturing environment.

We aim to promote race equality and actively tackle racial discrimination within all areas of school life through challenging racist behaviour, racist language or harassment, prejudice and stereotyping, however thoughtless or unintentional. 

Our vision for anti-racist education is rooted in the principles of equality, diversity, and mutual respect. We envisage a curriculum that reflects the diverse histories and contributions of all communities, ensuring that students engage with different perspectives and develop critical thinking skills. Through Education, we aim to equip our students with the knowledge and understanding necessary to recognise and address prejudice in all its forms.

We will continuously review our practices and policies to uphold our commitment to anti-racism.  By creating an environment where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is at the heart of all we do, we prepare our students to become empathetic, informed, and active citizens who contribute positively to a multicultural society.

At Scawsby Junior Academy, we are delighted to share with you that we have chosen to work towards being accredited with the Anti-Racist School Award. The Carnegie School of Education based at Leeds Beckett University have developed the Anti-Racist School Award to give schools a framework to evidence policies and initiatives for both staff & pupils within the wider school community. By embracing the ideals of the award, we are demonstrating a deep commitment to working towards excellent practice as we place anti-racism as a core value of our school alongside our commitment to having a rich whole school culture where all members of our school community can thrive.  Together, we can ensure that Scawsby Junior Academy remains a safe and welcoming place for all.
