This Equal Opportunities Policy applies to all aspects of the Trust’s relationship with staff and to relations between staff members at all levels.

Equality of Objectives

This policy meets the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Data Protection Act 2018, and is based on guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office and model privacy notices published by the Department for Education.

The Trust’s IT and communications systems are intended to promote effective communication and working practices within the Trust. This policy outlines the standards staff must observe when using these systems, the circumstances in which the Trust will monitor their use, and the action the Trust will take in respect of breaches of these standards.

Mobile communication devices are now a feature of modern society and many of our pupils own one. Increasing sophistication of mobile technology presents a number of issues for schools. At school, we have a duty of care to take steps to ensure that your child is safe. We take this duty very seriously.

We believe that educating children is a process that involves partnership between parents/carers, class teachers and the community. We have always worked very hard to establish good communication with parents and believe that our success is due in no small part to the strong relationships we enjoy with our parents and carers.

SEND Policy & Information Report

The Children and Families Act 2014 (Section 100) places a duty upon Central Lancaster High School to make arrangements for supporting pupils at school with their medical conditions in line with the statutory guidance issued. The aim is to ensure that all children with medical conditions, in terms of both physical and mental health, are properly supported at school so that they can play a full and active role in school life, remain healthy and achieve their academic potential.

The Bay Learning Trust (“the Trust”) is committed to conducting itself with honesty and integrity, and it expects all staff to maintain high standards. However, all organisations face the risk of things going wrong from time to time, or of unknowingly harbouring illegal or unethical conduct. A culture of openness and accountability is essential in order to prevent such situations occurring or to address them when they do occur.
