# Inclusion

#### ![](https://civitasacademy.co.uk/images/images/132-CIVITAS_-_LoREZ.jpg)Civitas Academy is a fully inclusive school. Inclusion looks at the needs of all pupils, including children with:

- Specific learning difficulties
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties
- EAL (English as and Additional Language)
- And pupils considered to be Gifted and Talented
- 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

#### For further information about how Civitas Academy ensures that the needs of all pupils are met please read our [Send Information Report](https://civitasacademy.co.uk/files/SEN_Information_Report-_2026-2027.pptx).
