About the SEND Inclusion Award

The SEND Inclusion Award provides a framework for recognising outstanding SEND provision in schools. It helps schools establish their strengths and weaknesses in terms of SEND provision and prioritise areas for further improvement and development.

The award also helps schools determine where current provision is having high or little impact on the progress and outcomes of pupils with SEND.

Following a process of self-evaluation, action planning for improvement and evidence collection, schools achieving the award can demonstrate to Ofsted and key stakeholders that they have achieved an outstanding level of SEND provision.

As a school we feel that to recognise the quality of the SEND support within our school we would like to achieve the SEND inclusion award.

We have now achieved the award and Barcroft Primary School has been recognised for providing outstanding support to children with SEND.
