Inclusion, Equality, Special Educational Needs and Disabilities
St Paul’s is totally inclusive and welcomes all children.
Inclusion has always been at the heart of my teaching practice. It is a joy and privilege to help all of our children thrive and learn at St Paul’s. We pride ourselves on the relationship we have built with our children and parents, and we are always readily available to support our families when needed.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is supporting our pupils' mental health and well-being. One of the ways we do this is with the 'My Happy Mind' programme. For more information on this, or for support to download the parent app, please pop into the school office to speak to Mrs. Evans.
"Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance."
Let's keep dancing St Paul’s.

Nurture and SEND
There are several dedicated spaces around the school where pupils can access pastoral support or take time out during the school day when required.
The Equality Act 2010 requires us to publish information that demonstrates that we have due regard for the need to :
- Eliminate unlawful discrimination, harassment, victimisation and any other conduct prohibited by the Equality Act 2010
- Advance equality of opportunity between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it
- Foster good relations between people who share a protected characteristic and people who do not share it .
At St.Paul's Primary School:
- We try to ensure that everyone is treated fairly and respectfully
- We want to make sure that our school is a safe and secure place for everyone
- We recognise that people have different needs, and we understand that treating people equally does not always involve treating them the same We aim to make sure that no-one experiences less favourable treatment or discrimination because of:
- Their age
- A disability
- Their ethnicity, colour or national origin
- Their gender
- Their gender identity (they have reassigned or plan to reassign their gender)
- Their marital or civil partnership status
- Their being pregnant or having recently had a baby
- Their religion or belief
- Their sexual identity and orientation.
We recognise that some pupils need extra support to help them to achieve and be successful
We try to make sure that people from different groups are consulted and are involved in our decisions
We welcome our duties:
- To promote community cohesion (under the Education and Inspections Act 2006)
- To eliminate discrimination, advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations (under the Equality Act 2010) For more information, please contact Mr Chapman, Headteacher)
MyHappymind
We are proud to announce that we are a myHappymind Bronze Accredited school!
This means that as a school we consider the mental health and wellbeing of our children as one of our top priorities. We have created a whole school culture that helps build our children's resilience, confidence and self esteem as well as teaching them how to self regulate in those stressful times.
This Accreditation badge has been awarded thanks to all the effort our staff, children, governors and parents have put in to bring the lessons of myHappymind to life all around our school!
