Introduction
This document is underpinned by the principles of inclusion and the shared understanding that clear expectations help provide families, schools and providers with clarity, consistency and confidence about the support that should be ordinarily available in mainstream settings (DfE, 2023).
The purpose of these expectations is to describe the support that Local Authorities across Greater Manchester (GM) expect to be available in all mainstream schools, including primary, secondary and post-16 settings. This is intended to support all learners to receive consistently high-quality, inclusive provision based on their needs, rather than their locality or the school they attend.
This Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision document brings together a range of activities, opportunities and strategies considered to represent good inclusive practice in meeting a range of additional needs. These approaches should not depend on a formal diagnosis, specialist support or identification at SEN Support.
The document is based on the belief that most children and young people can have their needs met through universal and mainstream provision, supported by high- quality teaching, an inclusive ethos and reasonable adjustments (Equality Act, 2010; Teachers’ Standards, 2012, Section 5; Early Career Framework, 2019, Section 5).
This document has been produced by local authorities across Greater Manchester and complements Greater Manchester’s Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision for the Early Years. It has been developed in collaboration with schools and settings, parents and carers, children and young people (CYP), Neurodiversity in Education (formerly Autism in Schools), Local Authority professionals, GMCA, health professionals and other specialists. It should be read alongside the SEND Code of Practice (2015), the Equality Act (2010), and each Local Authority’s Local Offer and graduated approach to meeting need.
While not exhaustive, this document provides a shared framework for ordinarily available inclusive provision across Greater Manchester, alongside examples of effective practice and signposts to further information and support.
Section One
Expectations of all settings
The information below is set out into sections that outline the expectations on all educational settings to meet the needs of children and young people. It outlines some of the practices and adaptations that are part and parcel of quality first teaching. Some of the provision and strategies outlined may be especially supportive for children and young people with SEN and/or disabilities but will undoubtedly be of benefit to many of the learners in a setting.
1) Partnerships
| Expectations | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| of all settings | ||
| 1.1) The setting works in partnership with parents, carers and learners in decision making. | • There is a focus on building and maintaining relationships between school, families and the wider community which are respectful, understanding, non-judgmental and supportive. Coproduction is central to practice, such as learners involved from the outset in decisions about changes that directly affect them. • Families know who to talk to in settings about their child and are aware of the range of communication channels available for sharing information about their child, such as sharing assessment data and regular opportunities for meetings. • Families are signposted to the local offer and local SEND parent support agencies, where required. This is referenced on the school’s website. • Families are aware of the progress of their child as well as the support and any individually tailored interventions in place. • The family voice is considered through formal and informal events to seek views in relation to provision in the school e.g. learner and parent surveys or coffee mornings. • Policies ensure consideration of family context and the range of children that may have attachment difficulties e.g. adopted, previously CIN, children and young people in care. | |
| 1.2) An effective partnership with learners, parents and carers is evident through their participation in assessment and review processes. | • Learners are constructively helped to understand their own strengths and areas for development within their learning and to value their achievements, whatever their starting points. • All progress and successes are valued and celebrated. • Feedback is used to collaborate and plan with families, to ensure consistency between the home and setting. | |
| 1.3) Effective partnerships with professionals. | • Settings work with relevant professionals for information, advice, guidance and implementation, where appropriate. |
2) Ethos and Culture
| Expectations | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| of all settings | ||
| 2.1) The setting has a clear system for effective pastoral support, and an inclusive ethos and culture that is embedded and shared with stakeholders. | • Awareness and sensitivity of peers and staff towards difference is raised at a whole setting level. • Focussed work is planned for classes and groups regarding specific needs or conditions where necessary, including play time and breaks. • All staff need to understand and be supported to implement relational approaches to behaviour within the framework of whole school mental health. • Systems are in place which ensure pastoral/safeguarding/SEND/disadvantage leads work collaboratively. • Mechanisms or policies to support learners with barriers to education. (Social, Emotional and Mental Health • EBSA-best-practice-guidance-tool.docx) Welcome to Barriers to Education • Policies ensure that reasonable adjustment duties are considered before any disciplinary action is taken. Behaviour (or relational) policies should reflect the setting’s inclusive ethos and culture by taking a relational approach and ensuring compliance with the Equality Act (2010). CDC guides to the disability duties in the Equality Act Improving Behaviour in Schools | EEF • An ethos to ensure staff maintain unconditional positive regard towards all learners, including those who may be under attaining in comparison with their peers. • Awareness of Individual Health Care Plan (IHCP), including medical needs, physical access plan, intimate care plan, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan and consider when event planning e.g. for trips, if appropriate. • The Senior Leadership Team adopts a distributed approach to inclusion leadership, recognising inclusion in its broadest sense and ensuring that the needs of all learners are addressed. This includes children and young people with SEND, those who are disadvantaged, looked after children, pupils with English as an Additional Language (EAL), and other marginalised groups. Responsibility for improving inclusive practice and outcomes is shared across the Senior Leadership Team. |
2.2) The setting
There is a calm and purposeful climate for learning and breaks or play times, where learners feel they belong, and their contributions are valued. Learners can identify an agreed safe and inclusive space.
Language used in the classroom and all areas of school demonstrates unconditional positive regard for learners (e.g. restorative and relational approaches).
Settings are emotionally friendly with the use of strategies to consistently promote good self-esteem and boost confidence in supporting behaviour and well-being. Home | Emotionally Friendly Settings
recognises, and responds to, the need for pastoral support for all learners and consider a learner’s social and emotional needs and other Social, Emotional and Mental Health relevant contextual Emotionally Friendly Schools in Wigan: circumstances.

Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) is used to develop wellbeing and resilience. Peer awareness and sensitivity towards difference (including additional needs) are raised at a whole school level to develop an inclusive and accessible culture. Work is done with classes and groups regarding specific needs or conditions as appropriate. Personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education -

There should be an awareness that some learners may be potentially more vulnerable to bullying and an appropriate level of support and monitoring is in place. Awareness that those who bully may also vulnerable and require additional support.
Ensure a range of adapted opportunities for social and emotional development e.g. buddy systems, friendship strategies, circle time.
Monitor learners at breaks and play times and introduce strategies to support peer interactions and consideration of adapted break activities e.g. access to the library.
Awareness that all behaviour is a form of communication which may have triggers that can be identified and that this may have been triggered prior to school to a lesson earlier e.g. something at home/on the way to school.
Avoidance of interrogation, lecturing or promoting shame as these are likely to reinforce the behaviour rather than reduce its likelihood. This may cause camouflaging/masking or learners internalising their needs and if done publicly may invite scapegoating by peers.
Ensure a focus on what the learner should be doing not what they should not; helping the learner to substitute more acceptable, behaviours.
Model alternative strategies for expressing feelings and having needs met e.g. emotion coaching or zones of regulation, social interaction support and self-belief.
Consider the right intervention at the right time such as, the use of therapeutic stories, puppets and role play, relaxation techniques, growth mindset approaches, focusing on learning

rather than outcomes, journalling, worry box, physical activity, team games and green/outdoor spaces to support.
Follow up any absence immediately, before it becomes entrenched, to communicate that the young person is held-in- mind and will be welcomed back.
Regular home school contact when/if learner is not in school to maintain ‘sense of belonging’ with peers and school community, e.g. hospital stays.
Awareness of physical symptoms that are medically unexplained e.g. soiling, stomach pains. Keep a log and analyse patterns or trends to identify triggers. Liaison with school nurse, if appropriate. Some symptoms may be a sign of anxiety or distress.
Ensure opportunities for cooling off (if the learner is dysregulated) before any requests/commands are communicated. e.g. the use of a script, such as - You’re obviously upset/angry. Do you need time to sit quietly?
Focus on reducing anxiety/stress and thereby behaviours.
Giving the learner positive attention proactively and regularly before dysregulation begins with distractions rather than consequences. 🚧🚧 Improving Behaviour in Schools | EEF
Expectations for the whole school community, prompts for pupils, staff and parents/carers being clearly visible throughout school e.g. with visual prompts.
Forward planning for off-site visits, which may include risk assessments, preliminary visits, transportation, key staff identification in line with the Equality Act.

| 2.3) Learners feel safe and valued. They know that they can approach staff and that their opinions and concerns are valued. | • Trusted adults are used as a point of contact to maintain emotional stability for some students when appropriate. • Positive and inclusive attitudes, beliefs, practices and culture is encouraged and developed, with staff modelling positive attitudes in the classroom, the wider school and society. • Family voice is regularly encouraged using different support systems and is considered and reflected in planning and adaptations, with the voice of the learner. GM Approach to Youth Voice - Lundy Model • Opportunities are provided for learners to learn how to use specific tools, such as time-out cards. • A safe space is available for needs that may temporarily support learners e.g. upset due to bereavement. • Consider positive use of the learner’s name e.g. “As X said …”. • Consider choice and time options to support learner – including change-of-face, would you like this to be now or later? • Support or check-ins to support motivation and momentum. |
3) Physical and Sensory Environment
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 3.1) The physical environment is adapted to meet the needs of learners. | • The physical aspects of the building and individual learning spaces are accessible. The accessibility plan is on the school’s website and outlines proactive planning to further improve accessibility and reasonable adjustments are made according to individual needs. • Classrooms are well-organised and equipped with supportive resources. • Environments are communication-friendly to include opportunities for everyone to talk, listen, understand and take part, to support learning and social and emotional development. • Consider curriculum specific adaptations e.g. poor acoustics in a hall. • The furniture is the appropriate size/height/type for all learners. • Personal care facilities/resources ensure dignity, privacy, and safety for all learners. • Extra-curricular activities and educational visits are planned to fully include all learners in line with the Equality Act (2010). • Learners’ views are routinely sought and are used to inform any planning for physical or sensory adaptations that they may require. • Signage around the setting is clear and communicated with an accessible approach e.g. symbols, pictures, tactile/braille labels as advised; or bilingual if appropriate. • Consider noise and busy social areas e.g. staggered lunches to reduce noise in canteens or staggered class departures to reduce congestion in corridors. • Risk assessments and risk-management plan are in place when required. |
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 3.2) Practitioners are aware of sensory processing, hearing and visual needs and issues that may impact on learners | • Consideration to the environment to create a calm learning environment e.g. noise levels, room temperature, proximity to other areas, smells, reduced visual clutter/glare, clear labels and contrast between furnishings or signage. • Any necessary hearing technology, or adjustments to the acoustic environment and classroom are in place. • Classroom seating for learners with visual/hearing impairments (or any degree of deafness) is considered: horse-shoe shaped seating arrangement is ideal for focus, visibility of each other, facial expressions and lip patterns to support with listening and attention. • Efforts are made to reduce noise; carpeting, soft furnishing, rubber feet on the bottom of table legs and chair legs, closed doors to the corridor, line toy boxes with soft wipeable fabric, turn off extraneous noise, including fans/ projectors not being used, and background music that is not being actively listened to for a purpose. • Staff are aware of lighting in the room e.g. use of natural light, glare from the board, where staff stand in relation to the light e.g. shadow on mouth for lip-reading. They consider reduction of glare and ensure areas are appropriately illuminated. • Staff ensure good quality print and photocopying is used to ensure clear visual information. They avoid use of glossy paper. • Displays are meaningful and visually accessible to reduce sensory overload. • Learners’ sensory needs are known, and they are consulted about their seating arrangements and/or movement breaks. • Left and right-handed learners can use equipment comfortably. • Learners who are prescribed glasses and/or hearing aids are encouraged to use aids that are likely to support access to school life. • Consider access to subtitles or audio-visual material. • Consider the use of pale backgrounds and accessible font styles on the whiteboard, avoiding italics or ornate scripts and capitals for whole text. • Consideration of flexibility within the uniform policy linked to need. |
4) Assessment
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 4.1) Regular monitoring of learner progress. | • Learners’ strengths and difficulties are observed, monitored and shared to inform planning and interventions. • Formative assessment helps to identify the areas of need in consultation with the learner. Formative-assessment • Summative assessment is used to ensure staff are aware of learners’ starting points so that expected progress can be measured. Progress is regularly monitored and support adjusted where necessary Summative-assessment • Staff are aware of learners’ starting points so that progress can be measured. • Staff are supported to implement strategies, such as evidencebased interventions, following information gained from assessments. Wigan Graduated Approach Toolkit What Works for Literacy Difficulties | |
| 4.2) Practitioners ensure that formative assessment and feedback are a feature of lessons and evident in marking and assessment policy. | • A wide range of assessment strategies and tools are used to ensure a thorough understanding of learners’ holistic needs. • Staff all know to routinely check with parents/carers about hearing and vision assessments at the start of any exploration of need. • Learners have regular opportunities to evaluate their own performance. Self-assessment is routinely used to set individual targets. • The impact of interventions is routinely evaluated. Alternative approaches are explored to establish whether they result in better outcomes for the learners. • Observations and language assessments (for learners with English as an additional language - EAL) are actioned to inform next steps. • Feedback encourages the development of metacognitive approaches to teaching and learning so learners can reflect on which strategies have worked for them.

| 4.3) Expertise is in place to manage reasonable examination arrangements (access arrangements) for tests and national tests and public examinations. | • Settings make adaptions to assessment arrangements as part of their everyday practice. This is used to establish a learner’s normal way of working. Please refer to the relevant exam board guidelines. Arrangements could include: supervised rest breaks, use of a reader / scribe / laptop, extra time, prompts, smaller examination rooms. Tests and assessments (key stage 2) - GOV.UK Access Arrangements, Reasonable Adjustments and Special Consideration - JCQ Joint Council for Qualifications • Adapted resources are used in assessments. • The learner and their parents/carers are involved in planning for exam preparation. |
5) Curriculum, Teaching and Learning
Expectations of
Strategies
all settings
5.1) Settings should have a broad and balanced curriculum which promotes belonging, identity, confidence, and inclusion for learners, including school trips. The curriculum has successfully adapted to meet the needs of all learners. It is ambitious and supports the development of skills and knowledge to ensure children and young people are ready for the next phase of their education.
The curriculum builds from previous years and prepares for the next phase of learning.
Assessment data is used to inform next steps.
Planning includes adaptions and reasonable adjustments to support the needs of learners.
Adjustment, modifications, and adaptions of the curriculum, to enable all learners to fully access the curriculum and make progress.
Whole school policies around curriculum areas e.g.
Reading/Literacy Strategy considers how the curriculum delivery will be adapted to meet the needs of all learners.
EEF blog: The Five-a-day approach: How the EEF can support | EEF
5.2) Practitioners are aware of the additional needs of their learners, understand the nature and impact of these and how to respond to them. The delivery of curriculum is adapted and ensures access for all learners.
Aspects of adaptive teaching are used according to learner needs e.g. visual timetables, clear concise instructions with written or visual prompts (e.g. now and next cards, photos and symbols), particularly during transitions.
Staff ensure a clear structure to the day and plan for times of the day that may be more difficult.
Tasks are broken down into small manageable steps. These steps are modelled explicitly.
Backward chaining – chain parts of the task together (e.g. build the sequence at the last part of the task and working back so the child experiences success and then gradually work back to increase more elements until they can do the entire task).
The pace, order and variety of activities are planned to maintain interest and attention of all learners.
Staff put in systems to support organisational difficulties e.g. with colour coded books or graphic organisers.
Provide additional time to complete tasks, assignments, and
communications, if required.
- Use of manipulatives e.g. CPA (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract)
models and images.
What Is The Concrete Pictorial Abstract Approach?
- Feedback is clearly identified as being key to learning.
- Consult with learners so they share their perspective.
- Appropriate support to fully access learning given to learners
with English as an additional language.
Awareness non-verbal communication (facial expressions/body language).
Awareness of an appropriate tone of voice (calm, not too loud).
Strategies to support memory and reduce cognitive load are deployed e.g. task planners; success criteria with visuals; repetition and learner repeating instructions back; practise of recall opportunities; practising retrieval/overlearning; stop and share progress at intervals; mind-mapping; repeated learning to promote fluency and other adaptive teaching methods which consider cognitive load.
Consider the use of adaptive teaching techniques – scaffolding, oral and hands-on activities and limiting copying from the board.
Identify and celebrate strengths, small steps of success, effort, and participation, including celebrating success in other areas of their life.
Emphasis on self-actualisation – activities designed to develop skills which will support independent learner behaviours.
Establish learners’ interests.
Monitor and track to build understanding of any gaps or misconceptions.
Have clear expectations regarding behaviours and a clear and consistent response to behaviours.
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 5.3) Practitioners use adaptive teaching strategies and cater for different learning needs. Individualised and/or small group planning and programmes where required. Use of steps-to success/goals or similar, to promote independence, scaffold and support learners. | • Modelling is used to support understanding - gradual release of responsibility allows for guided practice before independent working. • Visual/audio demonstrations and visual cues/audio commentary are used. • Alternatives to written recordings are used routinely e.g. graphics, charts or tables. • Tailor delivery styles according to the learner’s needs. • Teachers’ handwriting on the board and in learners’ books is clear and legible. • Interactive whiteboard is used to effectively promote engagement and scaffold the lesson. • IT is used to support learning where appropriate, e.g. the use of visualisers. • Study skills are explicitly taught. Study skills - Study support - BBC Bitesize • Homework is adapted appropriately for learners. Learners have access to homework clubs, or additional support with homework. • Use of timers so learners know the comfortable amount of time to focus. • Ask learners to repeat back what they are going to do, when appropriate. • Effective use of, and a range of, open-ended questions. • Access to positive communication role models. • Good listening rules are displayed, modelled, and regularly referred to, rephrasing pertinent comments made by other learners. • Use of high-picture books, e-books and audio books and a range of texts. • Consider techniques - storytelling, choice boards, real-life experiences, sentence starters/graphic-organisers, where appropriate. • Teaching includes multisensory methods and practical activities. • Metacognitive approaches support self-reflective learner behaviours |
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 5.4) Practitioners ensure that learners have opportunities to work in different ways e.g. independently, in a variety of small groups, flexible groups and/or in pairs. Individualised and/or small group sessions. | • Strategies are used to actively promote independent learning e.g. through pre-teaching, overlearning, appropriately adapted resources. EEF blog: Modelling Independence - The ‘Seven-step Model’… | EEF • Seating plans and flexible groupings take account of individual needs and routinely provide opportunities for access to positive role-models, peer support, mixed-ability groups, structured opportunities for conversation and sharing of ideas to promote independent learning. EEF blog: Flexible grouping: what is it and why use it? | EEF • Use of additional adults is planned to maximise learning and independence. Deployment of Teaching Assistants | EEF | |
| 5.5) Practitioners ensure that collaborative learning and peer support is a feature of lessons and to implement best practice. | • Strategies are used to build and maintain positive relationships across the whole school community (e.g. restorative approaches). RA in the UK • There are opportunities to develop peer awareness/sensitivity and support for different needs and disabilities, both in, and out of the classroom. • Role play and drama, use of props and objects of reference. • Collaborative stories – each learner contributes. Collaborative learning approaches | EEF • Consider activities that provide a sense of belonging. Build a culture of community and belonging for pupils | EEF • Encourage relevant and timely interactions and contributions. |
6) Communication with all Learners
Expectations of
Strategies
all settings
6.1) Teaching is delivered with the use of language in either a verbal or written form, so it is essential that teaching staff are aware of the speech and language skills of their pupils. It is estimated that in parts of Greater Manchester up to 34% have some degree of speech and language needs which will impact on their ability to learn but often these children remain unidentified and unsupported.
Staff have an awareness of each learner’s communication abilities to enable the effective delivery of support and/or scaffold where required.
Understand that the profile for every child or young person is different and their needs may change over time.
Create a communication friendly environment which might include clear spoken modelling of the type of language they would want to hear; supporting learners to ask key questions to facilitate thinking and learning; extending and expanding on what learners say and introducing and explaining new words for learning and specific subject areas.
6.2) Learners are supported to understand what is said (comprehension) within the school environment.
Staff ensure the language used is at an appropriate developmental level.
All staff to be aware of the expected language milestones for learners and how to use this to inform practice.
Use a learner’s name first to engage their attention before talking to and giving an instruction.
Provide clear and simple instructions, repeated, simplified and accompanied with visual cues.
Instructions are broken down into manageable chunks and shared in linear order.
Allow time for the learner to process and respond and allow additional take-up time to process information, if required (10 second rule)
Emphasise key words.
Approaches and tools provide an additional method of communicating e.g. use of ICT, symbols, pictures, alternatives to written recording, e.g. verbal descriptions/drama.
Use photographs and/or symbols to promote and support routines, for example: washing hands, getting ready for PE. (stage appropriate).
Displays are used to support learning. Key messages and vocabulary are displayed with visuals - pre-taught and post- taught for new topics e.g. working walls, word walls or vocab mats and labels.
Promote a speak-out culture, where learners are encouraged to say when they don’t understand or to indicate in some discrete way that they need help (use of cards on desk to indicate they would like support).
Expectations of
Strategies
all settings
Provide clear strategies and expectations around listening/being prepared to learn; these are displayed, taught, modelled and regularly reinforced.
Adapt delivery to include all learners in the learning process.
Give detailed explanations and examples of jargon and technical language to aid learning. Using literal language (avoiding idioms, sarcasm, and figures of speech unless being taught within curriculum content).
Use a structured approach for tasks and activities with a clear beginning middle and end.
Use targeted questioning to confirm, consolidate, and deepen understanding.
Pre-teach new vocabulary.
Use visuals and multisensory approaches to maximise learners’ understanding of new ideas and concepts.
For learners, teach and encourage self-support strategies to help them to remember and follow instructions (e.g. chunking, visualisation, silent repetition, use of a written checklist).
6.3) Learners are supported to express thoughts and ideas (expressive language).
Respond and indicate that you value all attempts at communication. Learners who are reluctant to contribute to discussions are supported to do so.
- When learners use single words, repeat and expand the
sentence to model more sophisticated language.
Provide opportunities for communication throughout the school day in a range of lessons, including opportunities for discussion around books and narratives.
Teach how to use formal and informal language in a variety of social situations and offer opportunities to practise their use.
Teach and model the use of standard English.
Model language positively through reflecting back correct speech rather than correcting it.
Language is scaffolded and modelled to help learners develop the skills needed to articulate their views.
Create lessons where learners do most of the talking to develop their ability to communicate.
Choose texts to support the development of language and vocabulary.
Non-verbal communication is taught and encouraged as a way for learners to express their thoughts, views, and feelings.
Teach how to structure and transfer imaginative and creative ideas onto the page or to articulate them verbally.
Use phonological awareness activities (letter and sounds phase
- to secure understanding of listening skills, oral blending,
rhyme and alliteration. Phonological awareness | EEF

Strategies
all settings
6.4) Learners are supported to build social communication skills.
Teach how to interact and respond in a variety of social situations. Social stories and comic strip conversations
Use group work flexibly to encourage and promote social interaction and independence by providing opportunities to develop social skills (the ability to listen, speak, negotiate, take turns), for example: paired work, small groups, large groups.
Create a safe space where relationships can develop, and communication skills built.

This may be delivered by those with lived experience, if possible. • Effective planning informs training needs for future cohorts. • Whole school approaches are taken to support consistency. | |
| 8.2) All practitioners, including teaching assistants, make a positive contribution to learner progress. | • Additional adults are deployed proactively in the classroom and their impact on the learner is monitored carefully to ensure progress is supported. They are used to support independence rather than create dependence. Deployment of Teaching Assistants | EEF • Planning between adults to ensures additional adults have a shared understanding of the objectives and desired outcomes of input and tasks they are supporting. • Strategies used in interventions are integrated into class teaching so that learners can sustain progress. • There is investment in staff training for all staff including induction programmes. | |
| 8.3) Staff collaborate and have effective links with other relevant outside agencies and specialists. | • Practitioners know when to refer for extra support or advice. The setting is aware of, and regularly communicates with, any other professionals who are involved with learners and develop a collaborative approach, e.g. education, health and social care. • Advice received from other professionals is communicated, implemented and used to inform teaching and learning. • Where specific decisions to involve outside agencies in casework are made; this will be in partnership with families. |
9) Transitions and Transfer
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 9.1) Support is in place for routine and life transitions when required. Transitions include, but are not limited to- • moving around the setting; • preparing for weekends, the start of holidays and beginning of term; • moving from lesson to lesson; • changing from structured to unstructured times; • moving from break to lesson times; • moving from one activity to the next within a lesson; • changes of staffpermanent and temporary; • special events: visitors, visits, celebrations; • life events: birth of a sibling, change in parenting arrangements e.g. change in parents/carers’ relationship status, loss and bereavement or contact visits; • puberty. | • Staff are aware of those who will need additional support for all or most transitions and plan for these transitions. • Visual timetables/schedules are used, events are removed or ticked off when finished. • Where appropriate, timers are used to show learners how long they must work for/ how long they have to finish. • Plans are made for untimetabled events, such as alarms. • Additional preparation and nurturing approaches are in place for tricky transition times for learners, if required, which could include unstructured times and strategies to support, e.g. early lunch pass or strategies such as social stories. • Staff positioned in key points, to support, at transitional times. • Appropriate visuals/signage are visible around school to indicate staff in different departments or pastoral staff. • Use of first, then, next… or Now (you are doing this) and Next (you are going to be doing that) boards. • Clear home/school communication. | |
| 9.2) Procedures are in place for ensuring smooth progression within settings, particularly during all transition phases, including on entry and exit. | • Information is actively sought and shared about learners to support successful transitions and manage change both within the school and beyond. • Information is shared with parents and carers, other colleagues within the setting and receiving or previous settings as required. • Practitioners are aware of learners who need additional support while transitions and adjustments are made, e.g. additional visits to a new setting/ classroom with a familiar trusted adult, creating social stories. |
| Expectations of | Strategies | |
|---|---|---|
| all settings | ||
| 9.3) Procedures are in place for ensuring smooth progression between settings, particularly during all transition phases, e.g. primary to secondary and secondary to post-16. | • The eight Gatsby benchmarks are used to provide learners with the best possible careers education, information, advice and guidance. Settings consider transitions within their careers plans in meeting the Gatsby benchmarks. Schools have a careers leader and careers governor to strategically plan for careers, including transitions to future destinations. Gatsby Benchmarks Explained • Consider transitional support such as taster days, additional visits or inductions, photos of new setting and key staff, travel training, buddy from new settings, additional visits in summer holidays/quieter times for vulnerable learners. • Allow time to become familiar with environments. • Opportunities for supporting transitional objects to bring to school. • Best practice is shared within the school and with other schools, where suitable e.g. Year 6 to year 7 transitions. • Schools use the GM Transitions Framework (Person-Centred Planning for Progression) to support transitions from keys stage 3 to 4 and key stages 4 to 5. This can be published on their website demonstrating their commitment to best practice aiming to foster inclusivity, equity, and individual growth for all learners. Person-Centred Planning for Progression: A Best Practice Framework for Greater Manchester • Support with travel training is considered. The travel training support on TfGM’s website may be used.

Section Two
Support beyond Ordinarily Available Inclusive Provision
According to Section 20 of the Children and Families Act (CAFA) 2014, a child or young person has special educational needs if they have a learning difficulty or disability which calls for special educational provision to be made for them.
Special educational provision is defined as “educational provision that is additional to or different from that which is normally on offer to their peers of the same age” CAFA (Section 20:2014).
As such, if the expected level of ordinarily, inclusive provision is effectively in place within your setting and learners continue to have unmet needs and/or are making inadequate progress, despite high quality teaching targeted at their areas of need, the SENCO (or other professionals supporting them) will be able to work alongside professionals to provide information, advice and guidance on further additional support beyond what is ordinarily available for all learners. This may include a discussion about whether SEN support is required, as outlined in the Code of Practice (DfE/Department of Health - DoH, 2015).
A learner’s difficulties or disabilities may be related to a wide range of needs but will sit within the following four broad areas of need, as set out in the SEND Code of Practice (2015): - Cognition and Learning - Communication and Interaction - Social Emotional and Mental Health - Sensory and/or Physical needs.
Please note that these areas of need may be subject to change as part of the 2026 SEND reforms and will be reviewed and amended once national arrangements are confirmed.
If it is agreed that Special Educational Provision is required, this will be designed through the process of assessing the needs of a learner and then providing appropriate support to meet these needs. This system should follow four stages, often referred to as Assess, Plan, Do and Review (APDR) - the graduated approach – which covers all ages and stages of education from early years to post-
- Graduated Approach
Communication with your setting’s SENCO (and/or other professionals who support them), will be able to guide you how to support children and young people’s needs beyond ordinarily available inclusive provision.
Role of the SENCO (special educational needs coordinator)
All mainstream schools (including Academies and Free Schools) must have a qualified teacher designated as the SENCO. The SENCO will work closely with professionals including Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language Therapists, Teachers from the Specialist Teaching Services (EMTAS,SSET and TESS), parents/carers and other appropriate professionals, to lead SEN provision across the school, including ensuring teachers and school staff deliver high quality provision to improve outcomes for learners with special educational needs (SEN).
Key responsibilities of the SENCO are outlined in Section 6.90 of the Code of Practice (2015).
On 22 April 2024, the Department for Education amended the Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) regulations, and a new National Professional Qualification (NPQ) was introduced as the new mandatory qualification for SENCOs.
A three-year window to complete the mandatory qualification upon taking up a SENCO post remains in place.
The following information is to support in understanding the four
broad areas of need, as set out in the SEND Code of Practice
(2015).
Communication and Interaction
This provision should be in addition to the expectations in section one.
Children and young people with speech, language and communication needs (SLCN) have difficulty in communicating with others. This may be because they have difficulty saying what they want to, understanding what is being said to them or they do not understand or use social rules of communication. The profile for every child with SLCN is different and their needs may change over time. They may have difficulty with one, some, or all of the different aspects of speech, language or social communication at different times of their lives.

Cognition and Learning
This provision should be in addition to the expectations in section one.
Cognition refers to the thinking skills and thought processes that a child and young person has acquired through their prior experience. Learning needs are on a continuum and can vary across subjects and situations. CYP with learning needs may learn at a slower pace than their peers despite appropriate adaptions. Learning difficulties can be general or specific and related to one or more areas of the curriculum. Difficulties may be short-term in one or more areas or severe and long
term.

Social Emotional and Mental Health
This provision should be in addition to the expectations in section one.
All behaviours should be considered as a child or young person communicating some unmet need. The 2015 Code of Practice of Special Educational Needs (SEN) helps to promote a shift towards viewing behaviour as a communication of an unmet emotional need (whether conscious or unconscious) and responding accordingly.
Many learners who struggle to learn or who experience stress and anxiety are likely to be having some difficulty managing the demands of school.
Children and young people may experience a wide range of social and emotional difficulties which manifest themselves in many ways. These may include becoming withdrawn or isolated, as well as displaying behaviour perceived to be challenging, disruptive, or distressing. These behaviours may reflect underlying neurodevelopment difficulties or experiences of frustration or trauma. They can come across through anxiety or depression, self-harming, substance misuse, eating disorders, lying and stealing or physical symptoms. They may both contribute to and arise from difficulties in other areas of the Code of Practice.

| Settings should assess SEMH to help staff understand barriers to learning. Learning needs should also be reviewed using a school’s own screening or assessment tools or external advice to ensure that any SEMH needs are not caused by an unmet learning need or communication difficulty.

Sensory and/or Physical Needs
This provision should be in addition to the expectations in section one Some children and young people require special educational provision because they have a disability which prevents or hinders them from making use of the educational facilities generally provided. These difficulties can be age related and may fluctuate over time. Many children and young people with vision impairment (VI), hearing impairment (HI) or a multi-sensory impairment (MSI) will require specialist support and/or equipment to access their learning, or rehabilitation support.

Gm Oaip Case Studies
The three schools below are based in Wigan and have implemented the Gm Oaip and demonstrate considerable impacts.
Marsh Green Primary School - Marsh Green Primary School
Then: 39% SEND and high level of deprivation.
Now: The same THEN: Isolated HLN SEND.
Now: Majority 100% within mainstream class. Those who are not 100% in class have clear plans with staggered stages to increase time in class or a move to a specialist setting.
THEN: Declining data results on both attainment and progress. Unclear tracking and monitoring.
Now: The cohorts which started their school journey under this new approach have 100% SEND children making progress with 90-95% making accelerated progress.
Upper school cohorts that have experience of the old system and new have increased progress measures to reach 91-96% good progress.
THEN: Firefighting mode. Increasing red zone behaviour with 57 children needing rapid response from SLT.
Now: Reduced to 10.
THEN: Budget delving deeper into deficit.
Now: Healthier budget and happier Business Manager!
Key Take Aways
- Inclusive Education based on the Social Inclusive Model
• The How = Environment + Expectations
All mainstream schools physically equipped with low stimulus alternative spaces for SEND pupils to access in timely portions of the day
All SEND children access a school within their local community. To have a breadth of parental choice on their doorstep, in turn, increasing proportionate balance of children with SEND and those that access the Universal offer within all schools.
Progress rather than attainment scores as the Focus of quality assurance and impact measures
Mabs Cross Primary school - Mab's Cross Primary School - Home Mab's Cross Primary School is a large primary in the heart of Wigan with 480 pupils and are experiencing significant changes in the profile of SEND;
- Main area of need is now autism.
We are seeing a huge increase in the number of children presenting with more severe needs.
Other contextual information:
- High number of EAL (22 languages)
- Mixed socioeconomic backgrounds.
