An entitlement to learning is an entitlement for all pupils
We have high aspirations and support all pupils to prepare for the next stage of their education and for adult life. Netherseal St. Peter's provides an inclusive environment where all learners enjoy their education and 'no-one is left behind'. Pupils, including those with special educational needs, are helped to achieve their potential. Children who find learning more difficult are encouraged and given targeted support to embed skills, developing at their own pace and learning in a style that best sits their individual needs. Our cross-curricular, thematic approach is planned to help all pupils make connections with their work and draw on real life experiences. It provides an avenue for applying basic skills in a realistic, purposeful manner, allows the utilisation of different learning styles and gives them a chance to success, whatever their barriers to learning may be.

What Is Inclusion?
Inclusion is the thread that holds us together. Inclusion is creating an environment of involvement, respect and connection where the richness of ideas backgrounds and perspectives are harnessed to create value.
Inclusion is the deliberate act of welcoming diversity and creating an environment where all different kinds of people can thrive and succeed.
There are four key features of inclusion used to set expectations and evaluate inclusive practice in our school: These are present, participating, achieving and supported.
PRESENT:
All children learn in an environment which best meet their needs
All children are fully engaged in the life of our school, through our inclusive ethos, culture and values
Good attendance is a priority at our school and robustly monitored
Reduced level of exclusions from school, where exclusion is the last resort in the context of promoting positive relationships and behaviour
PARTICIPATING:
All children have their voices heard
All children have the opportunity to participate and engage as fully as possible in all aspects of school , including trips and extracurricular activity
All children are enabled and supported to participate in their learning. (Participation includes homework; involvement in the wider school and local community; feeling included; participation in trips, school plays, sports and community events)
All opportunities to participate in the life of the school are made available to all pupils, including those requiring additional support, and these are appropriately supported
ACHIEVING
All children are encouraged to achieve their full potential
All children have access to a varied curriculum tailored to meet their needs
SUPPORTED
All children benefit from the ethos and culture of the school, inclusive learning and teaching practices and relationships
All children are given the right help, at the right time, from the right people, to support their wellbeing in the right place
All children are supported to participate in all parts of school life
All children are supported to overcome barriers to learning and achieve their full potential
Equality and Equity
Equality refers to the state of being equal, especially in rights, opportunities, and status.
Equity involves ensuring that everyone has the support they need to be on an equal footing, considering individual differences and circumstances.
ADDITIONAL Needs
Many children will at some point find something difficult at school and may need extra help. But for some children, difficulties are prolonged or more significant, causing a barrier to learning. If your child finds learning difficult, you may wonder if they have special educational needs. In the first instance, you can discuss your concerns with your child's class teacher, who may be able to suggest ways to further support your child.
provision for pupils with SEN & Disabilities
The school SENCos (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators) may be involved to help plan support. Support takes many forms depending on the child's needs, but will certainly involve parents to discuss progress and next steps.
A few children may have more severe difficulties and the school may wish to involve other agencies. At all stages, parents are involved. You will be invited to meetings to discuss how we can work together to support your child and to discuss their progress.
