Inclusive Education
The Philosophy in an inclusive school is that each belongs and all are valued and have a right to learn there regardless of needs or abilities.
Inclusion is primarily about school ethos and the kind of arrangements which are required to put that ethos into practice. The mainstream school is restructured to meet the needs of all its students.
