Equal Opportunities

Ysgol Ty Coch aims to recognise the diversity within our school and the community. We reflect this diversity in our resources, our approach to our school curriculum and to each student’s individual programme. 

We aim to look at our own attitudes and practices in relation to race, gender, religion, class and disability to define and address any inequalities. 

We also aim to value and draw upon the social, linguistic and cultural experiences, which the students’ bring to the school. 

Being a special school for students with severe and complex learning difficulties involves working alongside other professionals, therapists, parents, teachers, support staff and other schools and colleges. We aim to understand and meet appropriately the particular needs of all the students, being fully aware of their ethnic, culture, linguistic and historical backgrounds. 

All pupils with a disability have equal access:  please refer to the Schools Equal Opportunities Policy. 

A copy of this policy may be obtained from the school (for a small fee to cover the cost of copying) or via the schools website. 

All staff are committed to treating pupils as individuals with respect, including all pupils who have protected characteristics as identified in Equalities Act (2010). i.e. race and ethnicity; gender; religion and belief; sexual orientation and disability. Tolerance is taught through the curriculum and showing respect to each individual’s cultural beliefs. We aim to promote multi- cultural awareness through incorporating it into the curriculum, play, visitors, celebrations and visits.
