- Principles
At Civitas Academy we follow the principles of Inclusion as laid down in the Code of Practice for Special Educational Needs 2014:
- To ensure all pupils are offered full access to a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum
- All pupils will be given the opportunity to reach their full potential educationally, emotionally, and physically
- All teachers view themselves as teachers of pupils with special educational needs, teaching such pupils is a whole school responsibility
- All pupils with special educational needs should have their needs met
- Pupil's special educational needs will normally be met in the mainstream classroom
- Pupil's views should be sought and taken into account
- Parents/carers have a vital role to play in supporting their child's education and therefore good home/school links are established
