Creating parity, fostering inclusion, defining the strategy for breadth and challenge

 

How will this course benefit you?

This course focuses on the imperative to ensure that through widening participation all pupils including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) have access to a broad and balanced curriculum and will achieve their full potential.

The publication in 2022 of the SEND review: right support, right place, right time highlights some of the challenges. The most recent Area SEND: Framework and Handbook published by OFSTED focuses on the wider area provision and here we will review where schools influence change and challenge provision and how through positive conversations and accurate and timely information partnerships work most effectively.

We look at three distinct strands where a planned and well-defined strategy will create evidence of the widening of participation for all learners. These include:

  • Assessment, tracking and intervention
  • Structured conversations with key stakeholders
  • Recognising and creating the conditions for widening participation to ensure successful outcomes for all learners

Leaders adopt or construct a curriculum that is ambitious and designed to give all pupils, particularly disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND, the knowledge and cultural capital they need to succeed in life.

OFSTED Handbook for Schools, Quality of Education

 

What will be covered in the course?

  • Setting the scene – why there is an urgent need to know what currently works well and then determine the goals for future transformation within current systems and structures
  • Managing and implementing change through assessment of needs, tracking progress and learning and defining some of the strategies that enhance positive and lasting intervention
  • Creating a culture of structured conversations and strategic partnerships within and outside the school context linked to the new Area SEND: Handbook and Framework and shaping positive change through high quality dialogue and decision making
  • Making change happen, knowing how to translate the vision into strategic goals that ensure all pupils thrive and achieve by planning to share what already works well and for new approaches to creating parity, inclusion and innovation in curriculum design and delivery
  • Planning for the future using some coaching tools and techniques that individuals attending the course can take back to share and cascade to others within their strategic teams

Who is this course for?

  • For Senior Leaders – Who have the responsibility for widening participation for pupils with SEND ensuring there is evidence that strategic measures are in place to create a culture where there is parity of learning for all pupils
  • For the SENCO – Whether the SENCO is from a special school or in a mainstream school this course provides a wealth of research, resources and materials to enhance their own role and learning journey
  • For Teachers and Support staff – Who can focus on the priorities for their own planning and pedagogy in relation to a culture of inclusion, breadth and challenge

Creating CPD that is sustainable and cost effective

We design all our courses so that you can take your learning back to share with your colleagues. The materials, resources and activities are available electronically for you to download and use again.

We know that where delegates can share and cascade their learning with their colleagues they consolidate their learning and others benefit from that learning. In this way the professional development has a far greater impact on individual, team and whole school improvement.
