Introduction
At Milton Mount Primary School, inclusion is central to who we are. Guided by our vision “Strength in Learning. Power in Community.” and underpinned by our values of Strength, Tenacity, Reflection, Inclusion, Versatility and Enthusiasm, we are committed to ensuring that every child is feels like they belong, is supported and able to thrive.
Our approach to inclusion is shaped by the key principles outlined in our Inclusion on a Page framework:
- Quality First Teaching – High-quality, adaptive classroom practice is at the heart of our inclusive approach. Staff use clear routines, effective pedagogy and well-planned support so that all learners can access, engage with and succeed in their learning.
- High Expectations – We hold ambitious expectations for all children, recognising individual starting points and providing the guidance and structure needed for every learner to achieve.
- Nurture – Our calm, welcoming and emotionally supportive environment ensures that children feel safe, understood and ready to learn. A wide range of nurture and wellbeing provision supports the holistic needs of our learners.
- Appreciating Diversity – We actively celebrate the richness of our school community. Our curriculum, resources and events reflect a wide range of cultures, identities and experiences, helping children to understand and value one another.
- A Sense of Belonging – Every pupil is a full member of our community. We promote pupil voice, peer leadership and shared responsibility so that all children feel included, represented and valued.
- Collaboration – We work closely with parents, teachers, support staff and external professionals to ensure each child receives the right provision at the right time. Strong partnerships underpin our inclusive culture.
Across all these areas, we work to remove barriers, not opportunities, ensuring that every child feels they belong, can participate fully, and is empowered to reach their potential. Inclusion at Milton Mount is not an additional layer - it is the thread that runs through our community and defines our shared commitment to every learner.
