Our Commitment to Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI)
We are delighted that Newham PRUs' dedication to fostering an inclusive environment was recognised with an EDI Quality Mark in June 2025.
The award highlighted our key strengths, including:
• EDI is championed and embedded across our school.
• A strong team supports an inclusive approach for all pupils.
• We actively promote multiculturalism through lessons that reflect our diverse community.
• Staff feel safe engaging in open and transparent conversations on EDI.
Our Equality Objectives at Newham PRUs: Building for the Future
To ensure continuous growth, we are focusing on three key objectives:
1. Meeting Needs: Measuring Long-term Impact
We are improving our support by focusing on the long-term impact of interventions. This critical work is a whole school priority for 2025/26, ensuring our support leads to sustained progress for every pupil and enables them to transition successfully back into a mainstream or more suitable setting.
2. Engaging with Our Community: Parent/Carer-Led Influence
We are strengthening ties with families by promoting parent/carer-led influence. Actively incorporating family perspectives will make our school initiatives more responsive and representative. To achieve this, we will:
• Improve communication to ensure parents are fully informed about the work we are doing at the PRU.
• Increase involvement and engagement with families whose children attend our Nurture Group Plus provisions.
3. Spiritual, Moral, Social, and Cultural (SMSC) Development
We are integrating and reinforcing SMSC development in our curriculum and ethos. This prepares pupils to be respectful, responsible, and active citizens with a strong sense of self and an appreciation for diversity. Our planned actions include:
• Incorporating SMSC themes into assemblies.
• Using Votes for Schools to engage pupils in current affairs.
• Embedding our core school values: courage, resilience, and kindness.
These objectives guide our work to make Newham PRUs an increasingly equitable and inclusive place for all.
