At Trent Young’s CE School we work hard to ensure that every member of our school community – children, parents, staff, governors and visitors – feel safe and included.  We are an inclusive school and every child, whatever their individual abilities or needs, is equally valued and welcome here.  We expect each member of our community, staff, children,  parents and visitors, to understand and support our inclusive ethos. We aim to create a happy, safe and secure environment, where members of our school community are healthy, enjoy learning, achieve their potential, respect and value each other and themselves.

As an educationally inclusive school the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every young person matters.  We take into account children’s varied life experiences and needs, providing equal opportunities for all pupils, whatever their age, disability, race, religion or belief, gender / gender identity or socio-economic background, to ensure that every child really does matter.   

We aim to develop a culture of inclusion and diversity in which success is celebrated and all those connected to the school feel proud of their identity and able to participate fully in school life. We will tackle discrimination by the positive promotion of equality and the creation of an environment which champions respect for all.

Successful inclusion should:

• Result in every child feeling safe, confident and happy at school.
• See every child making the best progress of which they are able and enjoying their time at school - be that in lessons, during their play or lunchtimes or when involved in any of our extended school activities.
• Promote every child's belief in themselves as a learner and valued member of our school community.

Successful inclusive provision at Trent Young’s CE School is seen as the responsibility of the whole school community, permeating all aspects of school life and applicable to all our children.
