school inclusion support
Inclusion Support Service Our Inclusion Support Service delivers specialist
advice and practical solutions that will support you in the teaching of pupils
with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We work collaboratively
with you to design a bespoke package specific to your needs, providing
strategies that help to ensure your children thrive. Our support will leave your
school with capacity and capability to have a long lasting impact, and our
professional challenge will enable your school staff to develop outstanding SEN
and inclusive practices. Our service is comprised of a team of teachers who
bring an extensive local and national perspective of SEND best practice. They
have substantial specialist knowledge, skills and advanced qualifications in SEN
and are experienced classroom practitioners and leaders/managers of SEN
provision in schools. We use evidence based approaches from sources such as the
Education Endowment Foundation, Whole School SEND, PDNet and the Autism
Education Trust and support you to implement these in your context. The team
also have well established links to a wide range of other services,
professionals and health agencies, as well as a strong professional relationship
with NASEN (National Association of SEN) and Bath Spa University. Core services
