Ambition for all: Ensuring success for learners with SEND 

This programme will be delivered to schools over 5 half days throughout the academic year.

The training programme aims:

• To provide teachers and other education professionals with an evidence-based approach to teaching early reading and phonics effectively to pupils not making expected progress, including those with SEND.
• To support schools to analyse the specific needs of children not making expected progress, and explore practical ways to remove barriers to success and plan for appropriate interventions.
• To explore generic adaptations to validated SSP programmes that will improve outcomes for pupils who need more support, including those who have SEND, whilst also maintaining fidelity to schools' chosen programmes.
• To signpost schools to their individual SSP programmes for further support on how to adapt individual SSPs.
