Inclusion

Inclusion means all pupils accessing the same curriculum according to their ability and needs. That's all pupils as in pupils with learning difficulties, pupils with visual impairment, pupils with chronic debilitating illness and so on.

Schools should provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all pupils. The curriculum is just the starting point for planning that meets the specific needs of individuals and groups of pupils.

There are three principles that are essential to developing a more inclusive curriculum:
A. Setting suitable learning challenges
B. Responding to pupils' diverse learning needs
C. Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of pupils.

Applying these principles should keep to a minimum the need for aspects of the curriculum to be disapplied for a pupil.

Schools are able to provide other opportunities outside the curriculum to meet the needs of individuals or groups of pupils such as speech and language therapy and mobility training.
