This will enable colleagues to purchase days for next year before this deadline and make final decisions about how to use the days later if they wish. The booklet begins with a letter from me as CEO of Learn Sheffield setting out our thinking on this. The structure of the subscription is very similar to last year, with some changes to simplify the content. |

How can we achieve this in an era in which finances have seemingly never been tighter? And, crucially, what does great practice look like?
Nick Whittaker and Steve Shaw have huge experience as national leads on SEND in Ofsted and have worked with schools and trusts across the country, helping them improve their provision for SEND pupils and achieve better outcomes.
Come to this important conference, hear Nick and Steve’s insights and join the conversation. |
