By embracing difference and diversity, we aspire to create a space where all pupils can excel and enrich the whole school community.
The school is committed to providing an accessible and inclusive educational experience. While neurodiversity and disability can present challenges, we firmly believe that these challenges are not limitations, but opportunities for creative and innovative approaches to teaching and learning, which foster excellence for all.
There is more to accessibility than having ramps leading up to doors. Merchant Taylors’ as a school is a place of opportunity where pupils can take their interests, their passions and their inquisitiveness and develop them to the best of their ability. These opportunities should be opportunities for all and as a school, we are proud to say they are.
