Redfield Educate Together Primary Academy 3.09

Educate Together primary schools are a new type of school being offered to families in England for the first time. They are a model of primary school that has been successfully developed over the past 35 years. The model and its special ethical education curriculum are particularly suited to the education of children for life in today's diverse and globalised world.

Where schools differ from each other is in their “ethos”. The ethos of a school describes its spirit and character. This is built upon its legal aims and objectives, its policies and procedures and a school’s ethos should be reflected in all interactions and relationships within its community.

The fundamental legal concept of Educate Together’s sponsorship is that the Board of an Educate Together school is bound to operate a school that delivers equality of access and esteem to all children, irrespective of their social, cultural and religious backgrounds.

This very simple idea is the foundation of all policy and practice in the school, whether it is the admissions policy, the way that the Board carries out its work, the way that a code of behaviour is developed or the manner in which the curriculum is delivered.
