Learner Engagement

Learner’s Voice

This opportunity increases the ownership within the School and its ongoing commitment to learner inclusion. This will be reflected strategically in PRISM Independent School’s Charter for Learners. This charter will develop through the active participation of PRISM Independent School – Youth Forum working in partnership with PRISM Independent School staff and Senior Management Team.

 

 

 

Equity and Community Cohesion

PRISM Independent School has a comprehensive Equalities and Diversity Policy. An important element within achieving equity is through challenging oppression due to differences of race, culture, language, sexual identity, gender, disability, age, class or religion, and working to ensure that young people are not disadvantaged because of any of these differences.  This is both in terms of the ways in which Prism independent School delivers its own work and its role as an advocate on behalf of learners. In addition to its contact with staff and all other adults.

 

Enrichment

In order to engage learners in additional programmes, the ways in which these programmes are delivered must be attractive and enjoyable to the learners.  They must be challenging, inspiring, stimulating, engaging and motivational. Enrichment programmes will reflect current learners fashions and trends whilst responding to the needs and requests of the learners. This will enable PRISM Independent School’s staff team to utilise wider skills and experience alongside developing new, exciting and creative opportunities for learners and their own development.
