At Luddenden CE School, we demonstrate an EQUITY mindset.

This involves four key principles:

• equity not equality – doing more to overcome the extra barriers some learners experience
• capacity not deficit thinking – recognising the talents in all pupils
• deep not shallow relationships – developing authentic individual relationships with pupils
• multiple not singular talents – acknowledging that human talents come in many forms

          (‘Equity in Education’ Major & Bryant 2023)

We are passionate about INCLUSION. For us, this means:

• Education of the highest quality for all pupils
• Valuing and respecting everyone as an individual
• Celebrating and championing differences
• Finding strength in combining our individual traits to fulfil our purpose
• Everyone being welcome to contribute their ideas and true-self
• Supporting everyone to succeed
• Being successful in achieving the very best outcomes for all pupils

Our vision and ethos are rooted in and driven by Christian theology and our core Christian values;

• ‘DO EVERYTHING IN LOVE’ (1 Corinthians 16:14)
