At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School we have a strong sense of inclusion that ensures we treat everyone with respect and as equal members of our school family. We believe that every child deserves an education where their full potential is achieved personally, spiritually, emotionally and academically. We believe that it is essential that our pupils are equipped with the tools needed to become independent, inquisitive learners both in and out of the classroom.
At Our Lady Queen of Martyrs School we understand that children learn and develop in different ways. Teachers recognise this and use different teaching styles, resources and plan different levels of work in the classroom to cater for the various ways children learn, this is called Quality First Teaching.

There may be a time in their school life, when a child may need specific interventions and individual additional support. We aim to identify any specific needs as soon as possible. This may be identified due to factors such as changes in behaviour, limited progress or concerns raised by pupils, parents or carers, Doctors, Health Care Workers or Social Workers.
If you have any concerns or questions with regards to your child we are here to listen. In the first instance please speak to their class teacher or contact Mrs Reece through the School Office. Mrs Reece is our school Inclusion Manager who works with pupils, parents, carers, teachers and outside agencies to ensure that all children feel welcome and valued, and that children identified as having Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities are supported to reach their full potential.
