        | Equal Opportunity at Hartismere |  
      
        |  | Our equal opportunities policy is integral with our 
        curriculum as well as being highlighted from time to time by special 
        events. |  
      
        | 
         All 
        departments are required to re-assess their approaches to the taught 
        curriculum on a regular basis bearing in mind the composition of the 
        groups in any particular year. The materials used are chosen with care 
        to reflect an awareness of gender, ability and cultural background. Our 
        whole school aim and ethos are based on our commitment to valuing the 
        individual and are reflected in the teaching practices we encourage. |

         In general, 
        most extra curricular activities and trips are organised to provide 
        equality of opportunity - with the proviso that some are targeted at 
        particular groups for curriculum reasons, or because they form part of 
        the programme of activities for a year group. Year 9, for instance, take 
        part in 'Industry Day' annually to foster and promote equality of 
        opportunity. |  |  |
