Inclusion and Equality - John Clifford School

At John Clifford, we ensure that equality runs through the heart of everything we do. We are extremely fortunate to work within such a diverse community of adults and children. We are developing our curriculum to ensure that all of the children have the greatest opportunities possible to learn about the wider world around them.

We have a single equality policy (see below) which underpins our work with all members of the school community. This policy contains a breakdown of our school's protected characteristics and the key objectives that we have prioritised for the next three years (see page 14-16).

Any incidences of prejudice, hate or bullying is recorded in school and reported to governors and the local authority. It is also reported on in the termly Headteacher report.

Show Racism the Red Card

John Clifford School is a passionate supporter of the charity 'Show Racism the Red Card'. This is a charity based in England that is dedicated to educating all about anti-racism, prejudice and racial bullying. They are supported by many across the country and have a wide range of footballers who also support the charity.

The charity provides many opportunities for children to be active in their promotion of anti-racist ideas and here at John Clifford we take part in them throughout the year. During Black History Month, we take part in Wear Red Day, raising money for the charity so that they can continue to educate children and young people about anti-racism and tackle issues in some hard to reach areas. In 2023 we raised £164.95, let's see if we can beat this in 2024!

We also take part in their annual Art Competition. In 2024, one of our Year 2 pupils was lucky enough to come third place in her category and to our suprise recieve an honorary award at the Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Stadium.

Well done!
