Disability is defined by the 1995 Disability Discriminantion Act as;
“A person has a disability if he or she has a physical or mental impairment that as a substantial and long-term adverse effect on his or her ability to carry out normal day to day
activities.�
The school’s key objective is to reduce and eliminate wherever possible any barriers to access to the curriculum and to allow full participation in the school community for all children, and prospective pupils, with a disability. The school recognises its duty under the DDA:
• Not to discriminate against disabled pupils in their admissions and exclusions

• Not to treat disabled pupils less favourably
• To take reasonable steps to avoid putting disabled pupils at a substantial
