The ambitions regarding inclusive education are a derived and practical interpretation of the goals in the support plan of the West-Friesland Partnership. In addition, points have been presented by Minister Slob that provide guidance for inclusive education at Werenfridus.

Our ambition is to provide tailored support for pupils with additional support needs. We are keen to guide them effectively and expertly towards an appropriate qualification or suitable pathway. We achieve this by encouraging self-confidence and independence. To this end, we deploy professionals both within and outside the school. We encourage the professional practice of staff members and invest in the mentor as a coach. Teachers are familiar with action plans and actively implement them during lessons.

Tailored support ensures as few young people as possible end up at home (long-term). And every pupil has a prospect of suitable (further) education or appropriate pathways. In tailored pathways, pupils have the ‘right to be heard, the right to speak and the right of access’. There is contact between the mentor and the parent(s)/carer(s) at least twice a year. Pupils play an explicit role in these consultations. Mentors take advantage of their professional autonomy within their role as coach, ensuring that discussions are tailored and suit the needs of everyone at the table.

There are also external support staff attached to the school, such as the truancy officer, school doctor, youth nurse, and youth and family worker. They play an active role in preventing unpermitted absence and supporting pupils. 

Our school support plan let us list all the information clearly.
