Introduction
SEND provision is not solely the responsibility of the SENCO. Classroom teachers and pastoral staff shape daily experience.
Training depth influences consistency.
Indicators of Strong Training Culture
- ●Inspection references to adaptive teaching
- ●Whole-school SEND strategy documents
- ●Staff CPD references to neurodiversity
- ●Behaviour policy acknowledging additional needs
Inclusion requires collective competence.
Risk Indicators
- ●Overreliance on TAs rather than teacher adaptation
- ●Minimal CPD references
- ●Behaviour language without nuance
Consistency across staff matters.
Why Structured Research Matters
Inspection narrative, SEND leadership structure and behavioural signals together reveal training culture depth.
Our School Reports synthesise these structural indicators to support informed evaluation.
