SEND Reviews

Every child deserves an education that meets their individual needs.

At Prestolee MAT, we provide Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) reviews to help schools evaluate and strengthen their provision for children with additional needs. Our reviews focus on how effectively schools identify, support and include pupils with SEND, ensuring they are able to thrive and succeed.

What we provide

A comprehensive review of SEND provision, including policies, practice and leadership.
Evaluation of how pupils with SEND are identified, assessed and supported.
Analysis of curriculum access, classroom strategies and differentiation.
Meetings with SENCOs, teachers, support staff and leaders to explore provision in depth.
Practical recommendations and an action plan to help embed effective practice.
Optional follow up support, coaching and CPD for SENCOs and staff.
