Futura Sixth Inclusion

Futura Sixth is committed to improving outcomes for all students through providing an appropriate and high quality inclusive education to all members of the Academy community. We recognise that we need to provide a safe environment for all our students as every student has different life experiences and needs and that students learn at different rates and that there are many factors affecting achievement, including ability, emotional state, age and maturity. We endeavour to identify these needs as they arise and provide appropriate support. There will be a focus on the well-being and progress of every student and where all members of the Futura Learning Partnership community are of equal worth. It is important that our Inclusive practices make everyone feel valued and that they have a sense of belonging.

Our aims are:

• Work in partnership with our students, parents and the community to improve outcomes for our students
• Promote equality of opportunity and diversity
• Provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all our students which meets their social and learning needs
• The curriculum is ambitious and it is tailored where necessary to meet individual needs
• Promote a positive ethos with an atmosphere of encouragement, tolerance and respect for each other so that all students can achieve their best
• Identify, nurture and encourage the skills and talents of all our students
• Develop and celebrate their successes
• Develop sensitivity to individual needs and a climate of warmth and support in which self-confidence and self-esteem can grow
• Identify a student who needs support as early as possible and adapt the curriculum effectively and/or implement appropriate interventions to support their needs
