inclusive education
Councils are currently expanding specialist provisions for pupils with special educational needs and reviewing service improvements.
Ealing Council's Cabinet approved plans in July 2026 to establish new Specialist Resourced Provisions (SRPs) at Acton Gardens Primary School and Brentside High School, expanding support for pupils with special educational needs (SEN). These provisions, which will offer 36 places at Acton Gardens and 30 places at Brentside, are scheduled for a phased intake of pupils from September 2027.
In March 2026, Redbridge Council's Children and Young People Policy Development Committee reviewed progress on improving services for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This review followed an Ofsted inspection that highlighted structural changes as key areas for improvement, leading the council to develop a priority action plan.
No upcoming meetings are currently scheduled to discuss inclusive education, which is an educational approach aiming to provide all students, regardless of their abilities or disabilities, with access to quality education in mainstream settings.
