Every Child Included

“Every Child Included” ensures that all pupils can access, participate in, and progress within lessons. Learning is structured, scaffolded, and high-quality, combining clear modelling, guided practice, and independent application. Pupils are supported to develop confidence, independence, and reasoning, with all voices valued and high expectations maintained. This approach recognises the importance of deliberate planning, strategic support, and stepwise progression for every learner.

Key Features That Support Learning:

• Oracy & Structured Talk – pupils confidently discuss and explain ideas, using sentence stems, subject-specific vocabulary, and ABC (Agree, Build, Challenge) strategies.

• Adaptive Instruction & Questioning – lessons follow a model → guided practice → independent application sequence, with scaffolded questioning and opportunities for challenge.

• Scaffolding & Stepwise Guidance – concepts introduced incrementally with visual aids, checklists, models, and concrete–pictorial–abstract support.

• Use of Adults – adults strategically monitor, prompt, and support learning while promoting independence.

• Developing Independence – pupils gradually take responsibility for their learning, applying strategies, peer support, and resources.

• High Expectations – clear objectives, success criteria, and small-step achievements recognised; pupils self-assess and identify next steps.

• Graduated Learning Process – pupils experience new concepts through modelling, stepwise progression, rehearsal, and reflection; contributions are valued, and learning is continually reinforced.
