Dr Jennifer Barker, National Director of Learning: inclusive teaching benefits all pupils, and especially those who depend on it most. We need to move from a reactive, deficit-focused, diagnosis-driven model towards a proactive, inclusive approach centred on high-quality, universally designed core instruction.

Our trust improvement strategy is built on our principles for inclusion and equity. Any system of improvement cannot be in addition to a system for inclusion. Only by doing this can we deliver truly inclusive practice.

Too many care leavers are let down by the systems meant to support them. This Care Leavers' Month, we must push for urgent action to raise standards and improve outcomes for every young person leaving care.
These young people must be prioritised.

"This really isn't a debate about special needs. It's about the kind of society we are shaping for the future and how our education system could help all children to thrive, achieve & belong": my @SchoolsWeek article about today's @IPPR inclusion report: https://t.co/xoyTTEyi6J

[Wasim Butt @OATWasimButt]

We all agree the SEND system isn’t working – but agreement on solutions has been harder to find. This new @IPPR report sets out a credible roadmap for reform, grounded in the voices of families and professionals. @RealGeoffBarton
