Achievement for All

Achievement for All aims to improve provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Our main partner for this project is the National Strategies.

The project is initially engaging with 10 local authorities:

• Bexley
• Camden
• Coventry
• East Sussex
• Essex
• Gloucestershire
• Nottinghamshire
• Oldham
• Redcar and Cleveland
• Sheffield

In each local authority there are approximately 45 participating schools – primary, secondary and special – focusing on children in Years 1, 5, 7 and 10.

There are three strands to the project, which aim to improve:

1. the achievement and progress of children and young people with SEND
2. engagement with their parents
3. the wider outcomes – ie relating to bullying and attendance

The focus of the National College’s work on this project is exploring and developing the characteristics of the effective leadership of inclusion.
