What do we mean by inclusion? The focus is often on young people with special educational needs, and the integration of those from special school settings into mainstream education. Policies to minimise the number of pupil exclusions also come under the umbrella of inclusion. But there’s more to it than that. This article examines research into what it means to be an inclusive school – one that can ‘reach out to all learners’, not simply make provision for a few groups that happen to have been identified. It identifies six ingredients that have contributed to inclusive practices and raises major questions about the policies and cultures of schools themselves. A thought-provoking read for teachers and for anyone with an interest in school development, at the primary or secondary level. |

 The contribution of research to school improvement has been a matter of considerable debate. It is widely argued that educational practice should be more evidence based, but it is acknowledged that this is not easy to achieve. |
