At St Teresa’s, we believe that every child is a unique and precious individual, made in the image of God. We are committed to providing an inclusive education where all pupils are valued, cared for, and supported to succeed — no matter their starting points, barriers, or challenges.

We have high expectations for all of our children and work tirelessly to provide them with the education they deserve, enabling each child to reach their potential and go on to thrive in the wider community.

Inclusion at St Teresa’s means that every child knows they belong. We celebrate difference and promote equality of opportunity, ensuring that all pupils — including those with additional needs, those who are new to the country, or those facing difficult circumstances — receive the support and encouragement they need to flourish.

Our inclusive practice follows a three-tiered approach that mirrors our work with pupil premium children:

  1. Universal Provision – High-quality teaching and a nurturing environment for all pupils.

  2. Targeted Support – Short-term, evidence-informed interventions for pupils who need additional help to keep up.

  3. Personalised Support – Tailored provision for those with the most significant needs, ensuring barriers to learning are removed.

We also believe that inclusion comes with responsibility. All of our children are expected to meet the same high standards of behaviour and effort, living out our school promise each day:

  • We are respectful.
  • We are responsible.
  • We are resilient.

Together, we create a community where every child feels safe, valued, and inspired to shine.
