Inclusion

The Scottish Government Policy on Presumption of Mainstreaming enshrines the right of all children and young people with additional support needs to learn in mainstream schools and early learning and childcare settings.

To this end, mainstream schools across East Ayrshire and beyond support the inclusion of children with a range of additional support needs.

The information sheet below gives you a little more detail about this.
