The Worcestershire Context and Objective
To ensure that every Traveller child has equal
access, with others, to his or her full legal entitlement to
education and other support services; to enable them to take this
opportunity to become participant adults in a democratic society;
to ensure that all providers and schools have access to knowledge
and understanding of Traveller Communities and culture.
To support the development of a culture of acceptance in which
all children can be valued equally, treated with respect and
provided with equal opportunities within education and access to
support services. It is concerned with developing inclusive values,
shared by all staff, pupils, governors, parents/carers and
communities that are conveyed to all new members of the school.
These principles underpin the development of policies and practice
through a continuous process of school improvement and access to
community services.
To encourage participation in a learning community where all are
welcome, their needs are met and personal strengths are recognised.
Inclusive practices are those which effectively implement the
inclusive culture and policies of the school and community, so that
full participation is encouraged from all pupils in classroom and
extra-curricular activities, drawing upon their knowledge and
experience outside the school.
