Local Authority SEND School Improvement Programme

Whole Education supports LAs in building sustainable SEND school improvement systems.

We help LAs establish stronger partnerships with schools, align strategic priorities, and deploy resources more effectively.

The LA SEND school improvement programme enables LAs to maximise the expertise that already exists within their local education system and supports LAs to foster peer networks and structured collaboration, helping LAs to unlock leadership and best practices within schools to improve SEND outcomes across the locality.

The programmatic work with Whole Education provides LAs with data-driven insights and frameworks for better decision-making.  The self-evaluation tools and action-planning frameworks help LAs identify strengths, address gaps, and drive targeted school improvement.

Alongside the evidence informed evaluation and action planning process, Whole Education delivers ready-made professional development solutions for SEND leadership to enable them to achieve their action plans and make impact for children across the area.

Our structured training programme equips SEND leaders in LAs and schools with the skills and knowledge to implement sustainable change that enables collaboration across the system to remove barriers and impact on improved and consistent lived experiences for children with SEND.
