This programme aims to ensure best practice of high-quality inclusive teaching in all classrooms, all of the time. Exploration of the recently published HIAS guidance: Ordinarily available provision and special educational needs and disabilities support, will be a key thread of this programme as we explore approaches to implementation across different settings. 

Sessions will provide opportunities to reflect on current practice, identifying strengths and next steps for your school to ensure effective implementation of high-quality inclusive teaching and ordinarily available provision. Throughout the programme, there will be opportunities to hear from experts from across educational services in Hampshire related to the specific needs of your school. 

The launch webinar is aimed at headteachers, please ensure that you share details of the webinar and meeting link with them.
