Inclusion and inclusive practice can be defined as attitudes and methods that ensure all pupils can access mainstream education that is well-balanced and challenging, irrespective of age, ability, gender, ethnicity, language, social and economic background. Our practice celebrates and respects all children and is aimed at overcoming barriers that pupils face, ensuring that every child is empowered to achieve their best. Where appropriate, children may take part in interventions to support them in achieving their best and ensuring that they keep up; we believe that children should keep up and not catch up. We strive to create an inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported, considering the needs of the pupils within the class. Children with special educational needs are catered for within their own class - inclusion means different things for different children.

What do we offer at Marsworth CE Infant School?

Sensory Stories 

These stories allow children to engage in storytelling through a sensory approach, helping to develop speaking and listening skills, social and emotional development, allowing them to access the curriculum and learning. 

Sensory boxes

These boxes provide a variety of sensory based resources for children to use when they feel dysregulated. The children are able to access these resources when needed and allow them to have sensory security, resulting in them being ready to access the day’s learning.

Phonics

Phonics interventions take place daily and build on the children’s knowledge of the previous lessons as well as the lesson that took place that day. Children are exposed to graphemes that have been taught and are supported in decoding and blending these graphemes when reading, as well as using these graphemes to segment and spell words and write sentences.

Zones of Regulation

Throughout school, all children have been taught about Zones of Regulation. Some children may require these lessons to be taught again to ensure that they have a good understanding of emotions and the tools that they can use if they are feeling dysregulated.
