  Providing a practical guide to strategic management in the field of special educational needs, this text gives the reader a framework for raising achievement throughout the school. By focusing on how to manage SEN strategically, rather than on planning for individual children, it shows how you can make it part of the overall school improvement process. The text also provides tools that SENCOs, headteachers and governors can use to analyze data, set objectives, measure and evaluate outcomes for SEN just as they do for other areas of the curriculum.

Helpful for OFSTED planning and securing best value, Special Educational Needs and School Improvement also enables schools to target limited resources where they should have most impact on promoting inclusion and raising attainment for all.
