Over the last few years, there has been considerable debate regarding the ways in which the different educational systems in the world should develop more inclusive practices in their schools. An important aspect of this discussion revolves around the question of what schools can do to become more inclusive in terms of maximizing the participation of all children in their cultures, curricula, and communities. The Cyprus educational system, in responding to international developments, has made certain efforts to provide equal educational opportunities. These initiatives are undertaken centrally by the Ministry of Education and Culture without paying much attention to individual schools, their cultures, and the relations between schools and their communities. Given these efforts, this study examined how school cultures influence the development of inclusive practices, using case study in a rural primary school in Cyprus with 115 students, and through the analysis of our data, we spotted certain elements of the school's culture that contributed to the success of inclusive education. The provided examples, as well as the way that the leaders led the school under investigation toward an inclusive culture, might be helpful for educators in other contexts who struggle to develop inclusive schools.

RESUMENTres son las dimensiones en torno a las cuales se articula nuestra reflexión en relación con la atención a la diversidad: el desarrollo de nuevos significados sobre qué sea la diversidad, la modulación de una cultura escolar que acepte la diversidad, y la promoción de prácticas inclusivas que aseguren el éxito escolar y eviten la discriminación de determinados grupos de estudiantes. Esto supone actuar sobre dimensiones tradicionalmente escasamente atendidas, como son: la revisión de los criterios y procedimientos de diagnóstico aplicados habitualmente para clasificar, seleccionar y evaluar a los estudiantes, y las conexiones del centro con la comunidad.ABSTRACTSecondary  Schools  in  Spain  are  serving  a more  heterogeneous  student  population  now  than  ever before.
