Senior Leader Briefing - Late Autumn 2025

Join us at our November Senior Leader Briefing to ensure that you are fully informed of recent initiatives from the DFE and Ofsted and the implications for those working and leading in the EYFS and KS1.

Description

During this session we will be shining a spotlight on inclusion; the issue which many of the schools and settings we work regularly ask for guidance.   We will be hearing from Helen Mohatta, who has joined us an associate SEND Consultant.  Helen is an experienced Early Years SEND consultant, trainer, and coach with over 20 years in education. Helen specialises in adaptive teaching, curriculum design, assessment, and in creating inclusive, empowering environments that help children with SEND flourish.

Helen will guide us through the key messages relating to expectations around inclusion in the new Ofsted Inspection Framework and the associated Toolkits – offering practical ideas and strategies to ensure that schools and settings are successfully equipped to meet these.

As always, we will also update you on all the latest information from the DfE, as well as the Education Endowment Foundation. We shall also be exploring the key message from the Children’s Commissioner’s latest report, a national census of school leaders which reveals deep concerns about children’s lives beyond the classroom, as schools struggle to fill gaps in support without the backing of wider services – and reflecting on how the government is proposing to address the many issues raised.

Accessing this briefing will ensure that Senior Leaders in schools and settings, as well as LA and MAT colleagues who support schools, are fully informed on the latest national issues and policy direction.

The session will provide at a strategic and practical level:

  • Opportunities to keep up to date with latest information relating to Early Years and KS1
  • Clarity on the new Ofsted expectations on Inclusion
  • Reflections on the recommendations from the Children’s Commissioner and implications for the sector

Audience

Not to be missed by Heads, Deputies, EYFS and KS1 leaders, LA and MAT colleagues who support schools
