At St Michael's, inclusion is not simply a strategy. It is an expression of our Christian vision and our commitment to celebrating the uniqueness of each individual. We believe every young person is capable of success and deserves the opportunity to experience "life in all its fullness" (John 10:10). The Inclusion Base will play a vital role in making this vision a reality for some of our most vulnerable pupils.
