SEND Review, Consultancy and Training
Are you confident in the quality of your SEND provision? SEND is currently a major focus in the current Ofsted framework and all indications are it is going to be central to inspections starting in September 2025.
Key Questions
Does it involve all staff, in all areas of the curriculum and also in your extra-curricular offer? How well do you work with parents and carers, external partners, and the community beyond? How involved are the children themselves?
Our in-depth review will help school leaders and SENCOs review their strategic leadership of SEND across the school or setting. Gain valuable insights into your school’s strengths and areas for improvement, to ensure that children with SEND gain a high quality of education, and that staff are knowledgeable about how best to support them. Our review is personalised to meet the needs of your setting, ensuring that you have all the information you need for future strategic thinking, provision and development
