Inclusion in the DNA: Practical Lessons for Schools Shaping Their Inclusion Strategy

Zoom | 4th November, 4 – 5pm

With every mainstream school preparing its inclusion strategy, many leaders are asking the same question: what does genuinely inclusive practice look like day to day?

In this webinar, Kate Edwards, Senior Vice Principal for Quality of Education at MEA Central in Manchester, shares how her school has made inclusion part of everything it does. There is no separate inclusion base and no standalone strategy. Instead, inclusion runs through the school’s culture, curriculum, pastoral approach, and teacher development. The approach was recognised as exceptional by Ofsted in July, and the school’s pupil premium gap is consistently narrow.
