🔎Friday Focus🔍 This week we're zooming in on the practice River Learning Trust. This case study demonstrates the power of focusing on evidence-based foundations of great teaching for all pupils, before working on high quality interventions where the need is greatest.

Really interesting exploration of inclusive practice in Germany, that aligns closely with some of the themes we saw in the call for best practice. Thanks for sharing your experience @nic-crossley.bskyb.social

Last weekend Dr Rajbir Hazelwood and @elindezoete.bsky.social from @impactedgroup.bsky.social took the findings from our national call for best practice to ResearchEd to share what schools had told us about the 'what' and dive into some great discussion on the 'how.'

Thanks to everyone who has engaged with Inclusion in Practice this term. Our bank of insights and resources is growing. This now includes: * Our report on five promising principles for inclusive mainstream practice * 10 deep dive case studies, exemplifying those principles in action [1/3]

Today, Inclusion is Practice is publishing an early insights report to share five principles of promising inclusive practice, showing how schools are successfully organising practice, PD and resources to strengthen support for all children. Download here: inclusioninpractice.org.uk/report/

After analysing the Call for Evidence, we are delighted to be sharing key insights next week. @tomrees.bsky.social and @hilaryjcspencer.bsky.social will be joined by Dr Rajbir Hazelwood @impactedgroup.bsky.social to delve into emerging themes. Do join: www2.ambition.org.uk/inclusion-in...

EXTENSION - we've had a few requests to submit evidence past today's deadline, so we will extend the window until next Wednesday to give everyone time to pull everything together. We are very grateful to all those working hard to submit. Thank you.

One week remaining to share your examples of successful approaches to inclusion in mainstream education. We're so grateful for all contributions so far. Help us make sure we capture all of the best practice in our schools and classrooms. Submit at www.inclusioninpractice.org.uk by 1st May. 🙏

Special schools play a crucial role in supporting a more inclusive education system. As an engagement partner for @inclusioninpractice.org.uk we encourage them to share how they support inclusive practice in mainstream settings - an opportunity to highlight impact & effective collaboration.

We know what the problems are, they’ve been reported and discussed widely. But it is also important that we hear from the innovators and those who have been doing phenomenal work against the odds of the system. Please take some time to contribute to this. @tomrees.bsky.social

Challenge Partners pleased to support this sector-led initiative to capture inclusive practices in mainstream schools. We are already evaluating these through our SEND Developmental Peer Review and look forward to schools in our partnership and beyond submitting examples.

Really pleased to have launched this today at @ascl-uk.bsky.social. Please do share/engage - we're hoping to build a national resource which shares examples of good practice that exist in the system.

#ASCL2025 - @tomrees.bsky.social provides more information about the launch of @inclusioninpractice.org.uk, where inclusive education is a national priority—and a shared responsibility. You can read more here: inclusioninpractice.org.uk #inclusion #education
