We believe every child brings unique strengths, needs, and ways of learning, and our role is to create an environment where all learners feel welcomed, supported, and able to thrive. We are committed to supporting learners with students with additional learning needs, such as special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), as well as those requiring language support.

Teachers use a range of inclusive classroom strategies to support different learning levels and abilities. Where needed, personalised learning plans and targeted interventions are put in place, in partnership with families and learning support specialists. This ensures that learners receive appropriate support while remaining meaningfully engaged in classroom learning.

For students requiring language support, tailored support is integrated into daily learning experiences. This may include small-group instruction, targeted language development, and strategies that help students access the curriculum with confidence, while continuing to develop academic language skills.

Inclusion at Sancta Maria is not about lowering expectations. It is about providing the right scaffolds so that every learner is engaged, challenged, and empowered to make progress. Through a culture of care, high expectations, and collaboration, we support all students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
