Every Child Achieving and Thriving White Paper

The Department for Education has released its long awaited Schools White Paper (Every Child Achieving and Thriving) and its SEND reform consultation (closes 18 May 2026), along with a series of guidance documents.

Miss Dunne has sent a letter home to parents, carers and families today:
“This is the biggest review and suggested change for SEND education in over ten years and it is really important you are aware of this and engage in the Government consultation, if you wish to share your views and thoughts. As a school we are ensuring we are involved in information sharing sessions, consultations, local, regional and national meetings.”

Miss Dunne has shared the following links:
