  10. The three dimensions of the Index

  11. The 3 dimensions of the Index • Creating inclusive cultures • Building community • Establishing inclusive values • Producing inclusive policies • Developing the school for all • Organising support for diversity • Evolving inclusive practices • Constructing curricula for all • Orchestrating learning

  12. The 70 indicators of the Index Statements of aspiration to guide school development. For example: A1 Building community A1.1 Everyone is welcomed. A1.2 Staff co-operate. A1.3 Children help each other. A1.4 Staff and children respect one another. A1.5 Staff and parents/carers collaborate. A1.6 Staff and governors work well together. A1.7 The school is a model of democratic citizenship.

  13. The 1,000+ questions of the Index Questions help define the meaning of each indicator in ways which invite schools to explore it in detail. For example: A1.1 Everyone is welcomed. a) Is the first contact that people have with the school welcoming? f) Do staff, children, parents and governors make an effort to learn each other’s names? i) Is the school welcoming to all children from its local communities, irrespective of financial circumstances, family arrangements, heritage and attainment? j) Is the school concerned to welcome those who may have faced exclusion and discrimination such as travellers, refugees, asylum seekers and children with impairments? o) Does the entrance hall reflect all members of the school and its communities in signs and displays?
