Sophie Morelle

Sophie joined Cumberland Community School in 2014 and has since been instrumental in developing its inclusive practice and culture. As Executive Inclusion Lead and SENCo, she oversees provision for pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities across both mainstream and the school’s Resource Provision, ensuring that every learner receives an education that is ambitious, accessible, and responsive to their individual needs.

Sophie also serves as the Designated Teacher for Looked After Children and the Senior Mental Health Lead, working closely with families, external agencies, and staff to promote emotional wellbeing, safeguard vulnerable pupils, and embed trauma-informed, relational approaches across the school community.

She is passionate about equity, empowerment, and opportunity for all young people, and believes that true inclusion is achieved when every child feels seen, valued, and able to thrive—academically, socially, and emotionally.
