Decisions to apply this sanction rest with the Executive Headteacher and Head of School. Exclusion is a serious sanction and must be reasonable and proportionate. Careful consideration must be given to the nature of the incident and full account taken of the student’s age, any special educational needs or disability they may have and any religious requirements affecting them. The indicative sanctions table indicates the type of incident that might warrant exclusion, but the list within the table is not exhaustive. Reintegration meetings should always follow a period of fixed term-exclusion. Information regarding exclusions is contained within our Behaviour Policy provided as a linked document. |

Equality Objectives
| Equality Objectives | Meden values all students, members of staff and visitors and is committed to ensuring that individuals are treated fairly, with mutual respect and dignity, and that decisions are based solely on objective factors. The school recognises that all forms of discrimination are unacceptable and we are committed to a policy of equal opportunities and a ‘zero tolerance’ approach to discrimination. This approach applies to the way that students, staff and visitors behave towards each other. At Meden school we are committed to ensuring equality of education and opportunity for all pupils, staff and all those receiving services from the school. We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity where equality is actively promoted. The achievement of all pupils and students will be monitored and we will use this data to raise standards and ensure inclusive teaching. We will make reasonable adjustments to make sure that the school environment is as accessible as possible. At Meden we believe that diversity is a strength which should be respected and celebrated by all those who learn, teach and visit here. Meden school will not discriminate against a pupil, member of staff, visitor or prospective pupil by treating them less favourably because of their: • sex • race • disability • religion or belief • sexual orientation • gender reassignment • pregnancy or maternity Meden School’s admissions policy is inclusive and will not discriminate against any of the above. Aims Meden aims to ensure that: • There is an awareness that a successful community relies on all its members and that we all depend on one another • Self-esteem is promoted • All individuals are respected and valued and able to fulfil their potential • All pupils have equal access to the curriculum • All staff are aware of the need for the curriculum both to reflect and where possible, to make use of diversity, and to prepare pupils for life in a pluralist society • An atmosphere is created which recognises the validity of all cultures, fostering positive attitudes towards all • Positive action is taken against all forms of inequality For full details of our School Equality Action Plan for 2019-2022 please see the 'Policies' section on our main site under the 'Information' tab. |
