INCLUSION

tearing down
barriers

Diversity and inclusion run deep at Jebel Ali School.

From the School Advisory Board, Education Team Governance Body to our leadership, teaching staff and the wider school community, we value the unique contributions of every student, and we work hard to maintain an environment in which every child feels safe and has a sense of belonging. The needs of our students are central to everything we do to try and ensure that every child has a successful learning journey.

That means catering for a wide variety of specific needs and actively searching for ways to support aspects of work or life at school that a child may find challenging so that the barriers they face can be torn down.

INCLUSION

Support could be as simple as getting and staying organised or managing homework commitments – or can be more complex and specific to challenges that are very personal.

Our Inclusion team comprises six teachers and five learning support assistants, whose open-door policy is invaluable to students who are working on something that has already presented itself as a challenge or who can benefit from help to prepare for something that’s coming up. The help can be provided in a group setting or in one-to-one session to suit each student’s character and preferences.

The team works closely with parents, teachers, and leaders and we are equipped to help children identified with Specific Learning Difficulties, those who are Exceptionally More Able and those who can benefit from being taught English as an Additional Language.

We value every child’s contribution, aim to eliminate prejudice and discrimination, and provide environments inside and outside our classrooms where everyone’s academic, personal, social, and emotional needs are met.

Our wide range of extra-curricular activities and societies not only allows students to develop their knowledge, experience, and understanding in a specific activity, but it provides opportunities for them to enhance relationships with their teachers.
