We have a clear duty under the Equality Act 2010 to ensure that our teaching is accessible to all pupils, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT). Inclusive PSHE will foster good relations between pupils, tackle all types of prejudice, including homophobia, and promote good understanding and respect, enabling us to meet the requirements, and live the intended spirit, of the Equality Act 2010.
New legislation has come into effect regarding children taking holidays in term time. Holidays in term time will now not be authorised. If a child needs to be off school for exceptional circumstances these maybe authorised by school if the reason fits a range of criteria.
Further information regarding this is available below.
