I couldn't agree more with the statement made above  about an inclusive school. To add to what was highlighted. An inclusive school environment can be identified by its diverse approach to a number of key elements. Which includes but are not limited to...

1. A welcoming attitude. 

A welcoming attitude which showcase an environment whereby all children belong  regardless of their challenges they are welcome to participate in the full and co-curricular life of the school.

2. Policies

In an inclusive school, whole school policies creates a culture that welcome all students and celebrates diversity. It also promotes full school participation, cultural safety and provides acceptance  and understanding towards the needs of all  students.
