Inclusive schools are built on the principles of equity, belonging, and opportunity for all learners. They actively work to remove barriers to learning and participation, tailoring education to meet the diverse needs of pupils while fostering high standards and enabling every student to reach their full potential. This panel will explore how schools can create environments where all pupils feel seen, understood, and safe—foundational elements for improving attendance and engagement, particularly among vulnerable students with limited protective factors. Panelists will discuss strategies, real-world examples, and innovative practices that promote inclusivity, address individual challenges, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to thrive in their educational journey.
