The achievement of all pupils is monitored and we will use this data to raise standards for all groups of pupils and ensure inclusive teaching.  We will aim to provide our pupils with a firm foundation that will enable them to fulfil their potential, regardless of stereotypes.  We will seek to eliminate unlawful discrimination against pupils and staff by adhering to our duties as an employer under the legislation.  We believe that diversity is a strength which should be respected and celebrated by all those who  earn and work at The Heathland School.
