Inclusive practice guidance
Parent and carer guidance - support offered in schools
This has been created to support parents and carers understanding of what schools’ inclusive practice could look like for their children.
Schools use the Inclusive Practice Guidance (IPG) as a toolkit of tried-and-tested strategies that can be used in settings, making adjustments to reflect that, every child and young person is unique. What works well for one child or young person might not work for another, and sometimes fresh ideas are needed.
Making learning work for every child
In Swindon schools, we want every child to feel welcome, supported, and able to learn. Some children need extra help because they have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
We call this inclusive practice, which means making sure all children can join in, learn well, and feel part of the school.
The guidance covers:
- how schools support Inclusion
- how schools check progress and give support
- how schools create an inclusive environment
- helping children feel safe, supported and ready to learn
- teaching and learning that works for everyone
- supporting children through changes
- support in the 4 broad areas of need
