Ofsted and SEND: How to Prepare for the New Focus on Inclusion

Mon, 12 Oct 2026

Virtual, Online

How schools support pupils with SEND is at the heart of the new inspection framework - and inclusion is the lens through which schools are now judged. As such, the spotlight is on SENDCos and Inclusion Leaders to demonstrate how they identify and offer high quality support to children with additional and different needs, and how they articulate the impact of this on pupil progress and outcomes. This half day masterclass from education expert Matt Bromley offers practical advice on how to prepare for inspection and ensure the process goes smoothly and successfully - not by doing anything solely for the purposes of inspection or producing documents just for inspectors’ eyes, but by doing what’s in the best interests of pupils with SEND every day!

By the end of this masterclass, you will be able to:

  • Understand what the new Ofsted inspection framework means for SEND and inclusion

  • Articulate how their school identifies and supports pupils with additional and different needs

  • Prepare confidently for the Ofsted planning call

  • Evidence high quality inclusive practice in the classroom

  • Demonstrate the impact of SEND provision on pupil progress and outcomes
