Cleves Primary SchoolA model inclusive school in the Borough of Newham, London, EnglandA storySlide6
Beliefs at ClevesChildren must have the right to go to their local community school whatever their physical and learning ability or needs. In our society thereshould not be segregated schoolingfor children with disabilities. I thinkthat by all children going to the localschool, society will have to move towards developing greater tolerance,understanding, celebrating differenceand ensuring equality of opportunity.
Brigid Jackson-Dooley, Head TeacherSlide7
Children Together at ClevesSlide8
Inclusion is “the right thing” to doInclusion in school, the community and in society is a basic human right and any barriers to that should bebroken down. The work that we do at Cleves is about breaking down those barriers and showing otherpeople that this can be done and that it is the 'RIGHT‘ thing to do. Debbie Lakey, Deputy HeadSlide9
Teachers and InclusionI very much enjoy working at Cleves because it is a school which goes some way to providing inclusive education. I believe inclusion is about creating enabling environments where the adults are sensitive to individual learners andlearning styles. Janet Towlson, Team LeaderSlide10

General challengesWhat has happened?Multiple changes of head teachers after 2009Change of government in 2010 from Labour to the Conservatives; that increased the pressure on the school to perform better in the academic subjects (assessment results in Mathe, Reading, Writing, Science)Slide18
Requirements for a sustainable inclusive education We need to discuss a new definition of school achievementWe need to define broad international/national standards of qualification (compare EQF – NQF)We need to describe equal reference levels for educational standards in connection to professional requirementsSlide19
Requirements for a sustainable inclusive education Please take these thoughts to the discussions during the next days andinfluence the Salzburg declaration on inclusive education.Thank you very much!
