7. Inclusion
Inclusive means moving from ‘obsession with individual
difficulties’ to an ‘agenda of rights’ by maintaining:
flexibility, developing supportive networks, fostering
respect for individual differences, promoting consultative,
co-operative and adaptive educational practices,
empowering teachers and by providing barrier free
education with equal opportunities.
School attempts to respond to all pupils as individuals by
considering its curricular organization and provision,
through this process the school builds its capacity to
accept all pupils from the local community who wish to
attend.
