The Learning Support Department at St Julian’s bases its philosophy and practice upon this principle of Inclusion, which “has to do with people and society valuing diversity and overcoming barriers.” (Topping and Maloney, 2005). Inclusive Education reflects how schools respond to diversity and difference in learning styles, ability and interest within the student population. The SSD works with and monitors the progress of students and implements various strategies to ensure that each student is making progress.
St Julian’s is an inclusive school, meaning it supports students with a variety of needs and adapt methods of learning to the student.
