Unifying provision through an inclusive vision
The school has a clear vision for inclusion that permeates all aspects of its work. Leaders ensure that mainstream and specialist provision are well aligned. Staff plan authentic learning experiences that draw pupils together from different classes and settings, including those from the local authority specialist provision. In joint activities, such as STEM projects older pupils take pride in their mentoring roles whilst younger pupils respond well to their help. This inclusive approach enables pupils with a range of needs and challenges to work together successfully. It helps to build positive relationships, strengthen communication skills and create a unified learning environment. In addition, teachers learn from colleagues across different phases and settings.
