Supporting pupils with SEN in Mainstream Schools

What’s the purpose of the programme?

We know that the numbers of pupils with a diagnosed learning need are rising. We also know that the attainment gap for these pupils is wider than for disadvantaged pupils. It is vital, therefore, that teachers and school leaders are equipped with the knowledge and skills to meet pupil needs and promote more equitable outcomes.

This two-year programme supports SENDCOs, Inclusion Leads and Senior Leaders to explore and understand the evidence and to implement change in their settings. Six facilitated sessions in Year 1 are followed by coaching support in Year 2, alongside the establishment of networks of support between schools.

Core modules include:

● Creating a positive and supportive environment for all pupils

● Building an ongoing understanding of pupils’ needs
