SEND and Inclusion Self-Review Questions, 2026/27 edition, by HeadteacherChat

Resource details

SEND and Inclusion Self-Review Questions for SENCOs and Leaders (2026/27) is a self-review tool for SENCOs, inclusion leads, headteachers and governors. 2026/27 edition, rewritten for the Ofsted school inspection toolkit (v2.0) for inspections from 7 September 2026, where inclusion is now its own evaluation area.

The questions follow what the toolkit says inspectors consider, including the graduated approach, the SEN information report, the accessibility plan, the published inclusion strategy and use of the inclusive mainstream fund, the SENCO's leadership role, pupil premium, and support for pupils known to children's social care.

What's inside

  • 31 questions in five sections: identifying and meeting needs and reducing barriers; supporting pupils with SEND; SEND in the curriculum and in lessons; disadvantaged pupils and pupils known to children's social care; and choosing pupils for case sampling
  • An evidence column and a next-step column for every question
  • A summary of what the expected and strong standards look like
  • A priorities and actions table

Editable Word document, 5 pages, landscape. Use it alongside the SEND Code of Practice and the full toolkit on GOV.UK.
