We are currently applying for the SEND Inclusion Award
SENDIA Overview
The SEND Inclusion Award offers mainstream schools the opportunity to gain accreditation for high-quality provision and outcomes for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Schools are required to reflect on and improve their provision in line with a series of objectives that fulfil both Ofsted criteria and the SEND Code of Practice*. Specifically, the award focuses on ‘outcomes’ for pupils and how schools can demonstrate the impact of their SEND provision. The award leads schools through a process of self-evaluation, action planning and evidence collection before final verification and accreditation.
The award will help schools develop high-quality SEND provision throughout the school by:
★ promoting awareness of SEND issues and inclusion for all staff, parents, pupils and governors
★ evaluating and improving classroom practice and interventions
★ focusing on pupil outcomes.
Successful completion of the award will enable schools to:
★ gain recognition for high-quality education and care for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
