Crown Lane Primary School

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

(Ofsted 2023) "Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND)"

At Crown Lane, we are proud of our richly diverse community and we celebrate the skills, talents, aspirations and achievements of everyone.  This is underpinned by our Crown Lane Values of  Kindness, Ambition, Respect, Responsibility, Inclusivity and Commitment.

We have opportunities across our whole curriculum to promote equity, diversity and inclusion, from the range of texts we read in English to the topics we study in History.

Black History is embedded in our curriculum, through the range of topics and figures we learn about and the books we read.  In addition to this, we celebrate Black History Month with a different theme each year.

Raising the Game

We are proud to part of the Raising the Game initiative run by Lambeth.  We are committed to the Raising the Game aims of raising academic achievement, improving the educational experience and narrowing the attainment gap for Black Caribbean pupils in Lambeth. As well as the Aim High programme, which shares inspirational talks from successful black professionals, we will also be part of the roll-out of the Anti-Racism framework.  Our Racial Justice Champion is Diane John-Cyrus.

Crown Lane are proud adopters of The Halo Code together with the Halo Collective, who are building a future without hair discrimination.

Anti-Racist Practise Standard

We are proud to be a Lambeth community school, working with Lambeth Council in a commitment to being a "Borough of Equity and Justice". The Anti-Racist Practice Standards were launched at Lambeth's Breaking Barriers Conference for Headteachers as part of an ongoing commitment to tackling racism, addressing disproportionality and closing the gap in outcomes for our Black Caribbean children and young people.

Lambeth Schools Anti- Racist Practice Standards

The WCL Federation has adopted these standards, in line with the Council’s commitment to being a borough of equity and justice. As a Federation we are committed to addressing systemic racism, inequity and injustice in all our work. We acknowledge that succeeding in being an anti-racist organisation requires us to go beyond ‘not tolerating’ racism, to recognise the impacts of systemic racism in all its forms. We need to be proactive in tackling existing systems and structures that perpetuate and embed racism in our profession, organisation and the wider community.
