We at East Wickham Primary Academy and TKAT will promote equal opportunity and will not tolerate inequality in any area of the school’s life or work. All will be treated equally and given equal access to the curriculum and wider life of the school. All will have equal opportunity to benefit from everything that we offer. Our intention is to develop an ethos in which all will thrive. Diversity and differences will be valued and respected by all and they will contribute to the richness of our school community and the learning within it.
