Ensuring all our students are included and have a fair and equitable access to knowledge and a broad curriculum, is vital. Over the last year we have been further developing inclusion strategies and have designed a bespoke and specialised ‘Learning Centre”.

‘The Learning Centre’ is an inclusion centre, based in school, with a purpose to ensure that all students have a high quality education which enables our students who use the centre to have successful outcomes in a nurturing and safe environment.

Inclusion:

Our Inclusion rooms enable students, who are ready to transition back into mainstream education, to learn and concentrate on a broad and ambitious curriculum. Lessons and content here mirrors the knowledge they would have access to in the classroom. The aim of this strand of our Learning Centre is to ensure a smooth and confident transition back into lessons, where they will continue to progress seamlessly.

These inclusion rooms are staffed by an Inclusion Manager and two Personalised Learning Mentors who are trained in supporting students through their curriculum in readiness for exams. Specialist teaching in Maths and English is also provided and students find the small, focussed, specialist support valuable.
