Equality

The Academy is committed to equal opportunities.  Our school:

• Follows a ‘Learning without Limits’ philosophy that resists notions that ability is fixed.
• Offers a choice of learning challenges within a rich and engaging curriculum which takes advantage of the many opportunities available in the King’s Cross environment.
• Responds to children’s diverse needs.
• Overcomes potential barriers to learning and assessment.
• Has high ambitions for our disabled pupils and expects them to participate and achieve in every aspect of school life.
