Inclusion Strategy

A sense of belonging...

Our school will follow the 7 principles of inclusion with the DFE funding provided to support whole school approaches for inclusion and develop effective support for children with additional needs:

The 7 principles are:

• ambitious leadership and governance that embeds inclusion

• evidence-based support prioritising early intervention

• high quality adaptive teaching with curriculum designed for all learners

• enriching provision beyond the classroom that all children can access

• a safe and respectful culture fostering belonging, attendance, and participation in learning

• strong partnerships with families and wider services

• inclusive environments with continuous improvements to accessibility.

St Andrew's CE will always strive to support all children in their care to provide an inclusive system, built upon high quality, adaptive teaching and whole school practices that enable all children, including those who face barriers to learning , to achieve and thrive and feel a real sense of belonging.
