All children have a right to be educated with their peer group. At St. Mary & St. Thomas Aquinas, we are fully
committed to promoting inclusion of all children, whatever their age, ability, gender, race or background. We
believe that the teaching and learning, achievements, attitudes and well-being of every child in the school is
important.
We aim to provide equal opportunities for all groups of children, including those with diverse needs. Our main
objective is to safeguard the interests of all children and to ensure they achieve their full potential. All children
should have the opportunity to join with their peers in the curriculum and life of the school. We aim to pay particular
attention to the provision for, and the achievement of, ‘different groups’ within the school, providing extra resources
and support, where possible.
