Although it may look like it… I didn’t go for a foggy walk by myself there were others, but I’m not sure they’d like to be shared across my socials 😝 Happy ‘Twixmas’/ ‘Crimbo Limbo’ to anyone else braving the fog for a walk today! Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas 🎄

Question for SENCOS, when a school (primary) has a residential planned at what point do you make plans for it to be inclusive. Ie if you have child with EHCP with sensory issues, and, demand avoidant. Known to not manage a coach on previous trips, known to have trouble accessing toilets etc

🧵 Children’s needs not been met in schools resulting in exclusions? What are your thoughts? There were 84,300 suspensions in primary schools in 2022/23. It has DOUBLED in 10 years. The rate of permanent exclusions has also increased…. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🧵 At what point does #inclusion become exclusion just within school? We are awaiting news on the education secretary, Bridget Phillipson’s, plans for the #SEND system. But so far we’ve heard there will be an emphasis on inclusion within mainstream schools…
