During this session we will look firstly at the parameters of curriculum development in relation to SEND: what is required and what freedoms schools have. We will explore why it’s important that a school’s curriculum offer is clear and consistently delivered.

We will then go on to think about what those curriculum decisions may mean for pupils with SEMH or with a combination of needs. We will take a pragmatic approach to what might be meant by reasonable adjustments for accessibility. We will finish by bringing together how a key range of school’s policies (SEND/ Behaviour/ attendance and accessibility) can work together to provide a framework within which all children can flourish.
