RACE EQUALITY
POLICY

July 2005
Leaflet
AYLWARD SCHOOL
School badge with logo superimposed over top
At Aylward School, we believe that every child matters. All members of our community are of equal value and have a right to be included equally in school and in society.
Aylward School is a large, multi-cultural and multi-racial community. We have approximately 1700 adults and students in the school and celebrate our cultural diversity.
We aim to have structures and policies which promote inclusion and high levels of achievement for all children. We offer a wide range of learning experiences and value the contributions of all young people. We have high expectations of all our students and clear codes of behaviour that take account of the difficulties pupils sometimes face. We aim to include all students in the activities of the school and seek to foster supportive friendships among children, whilst recognizing and respecting individual differences.
We are committed to raising the achievements of all our students, developing their individual strengths and talents. We will not tolerate any form of discrimination against race, religion or language, gender or sexuality.
Aylward School Race Equality Policy Policy Number 2
Updated: July 2005
Persons responsible: Headteacher, Governing Body, Race Equality Action Team
Administrative Officer: Mrs B. James
Review Date: Summer 2006
Aylward School Commitment
The Governors and Staff of Aylward School wish to state that we are committed to working with all our communities to ensure that everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, and that no member of this school will suffer or be disadvantaged by direct or indirect racial discrimination.
At all times we will be vigilant for aspects of our work and play, which may hurt or disadvantage others. All acts of bullying or harassment will not be tolerated. Racism in all its forms is not acceptable and will be challenged generally, but particularly where the provisions of the Race Relations Act are broken.
This school will work within the provisions of the law, and do everything to meet the Standards for Race Equality as laid out by the Commission for Racial Equality in ‘Learning for All’.
Aims
At Aylward School we aim to promote racial equality through the following areas:-
Leadership and Management commitment
Clear vision and long term school development
Clear expectations that all members of the school community
are equally valued and respected
Staff commitment and involvement to a shared vision,
School Development Plan and to an understanding about racial equality
Communication at all levels throughout the school and with
parents, governors and community partners.
Progress, attainment and assessment of all pupils is closely
reviewed and monitored. Individual student needs are met
through appropriate planning and teaching and learning
strategies
Procedures for Reporting/Recording and Monitoring Racial Incidents
Definition of a racial incident
Racial incidents can take a variety of forms and include:
· Name-calling - insults, jokes, taunts on the basis of race
· Racist graffiti - on walls, books, desks, school bags
· Racist badges
· Literature - eg. Books, comics or leaflets containing racist material
· Comments - eg. in discussion during a lesson
· Refusal to sit next to, co-operate or work with someone of a different ethnic group
· Attempting to recruit to racist groups or organizations
· Threat or actual physical assault
Procedures
1. Immediate Action
a. Reporting
b. Consideration of any previous events/incidents (if any)
c. Parental contact
2. Outcomes/Strategies
Incidents that occur in the classroom enable the teacher to make explicit teaching points to reinforce the school policy on racism, so that pupils recognize what is racist bahaviour and what impact it has on the recipient.
Having stopped the incident and called for the attention of other pupils, staff should challenge racist behaviour and emphasise school expectations. The emphasis should be upon the message that racist behaviour will not be tolerated and that recipients of racial harassment will be supported.
3. Serious Incidents
Any serious incidents must be reported to the London Borough of Enfield’s Racial Incidents Action Group (RIAG). These may include racial harassment of pupils or racist bullying or harassment of staff by pupils, parents or other members of staff. (Please see Appendix 1)
4. Agencies
The school will contact relevant community groups to provide guidance and mentoring following racial incidents of a serious nature. In school, named persons will be responsible for mentoring relevant parties as part of the procedures following reported incidents.
Implementation Strategy
The following is a summary of recommendations by the London Borough of Enfield’s EMA team, that held a review in the school in June 2005. These will be the school’s key areas for development over the next 3 years:-
v Raising the achievement of ethnic minority and bilingual pupils will be recognized as a whole school concern
v The profile of the EMA team should be raised and the work of the team central to curriculum development;
v Strategic deployment informed by data analysis, should be made of EMA team members
v Partnership teaching should be the model used to develop good practice
v Advanced bilingual learners, in addition to early learners of English need to be the focus of collaborative work between mainstream teachers and the EMA team
v Training needs of mainstream and EMA staff need to be identified and INSET provided.

It is correct to state that RESS is not funny or smart.
That is correct.
Well done.
