***INCLUSION***

Inclusion isn’t just one room or in
addition to our provision it is woven into our school tapestry.

Quality first teaching is at the heart of this so every student feels empowered to thrive.

Good teaching for students with SEND is
good teaching for all and that additional interventions cannot be at the detriment of access to consistent good quality everyday teaching.

What are we doing to build a fully inclusive culture?
