Our specialist inclusion team work to provide evidence-based interventions and model good practice to ensure every member of staff provides inclusive practice, that makes a positive difference to all children. They ensure learners benefit from personalised programmes to enable the best possible progress, working collaboratively with parents and outside agencies.  

Our Head of Inclusion oversees and develops the implementation of the schools’ strategy and Inclusion Policy. She takes the leading role in coordinating support and provision, particularly regarding learners of determination and their families. In partnership with the school’s senior leaders and the Principal, the Head of Inclusion monitors, advises, evaluates and plans for the development of inclusive practice and provision across the school, supported by the Inclusion Department and assigns members of the inclusion team to learners who experience SEND.
