EEF Research Special Educational Needs in Mainstream Schools
Pupils with Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) have the greatest need for excellent teaching and are entitled to provision that supports achievement at, and enjoyment of, school. The attainment gap between pupils with SEND and their peers is twice as big as the gap between pupils eligible for free school meals and their peers. However, pupils with SEND are also more than twice as likely to be eligible for free school meals.
This guidance report offers five evidence-based recommendations to support pupils with SEND, providing a starting point for schools to review their current approach and practical ideas they can implement. We have used the findings of this report to inform the development of our SEND provision. Please use the link to find out more.
EEF Research Metacognition and Self-regulated Learning
Evidence suggests the use of metacognitive strategies which get pupils to think about their own learning can be worth the equivalent of an additional +7 months progress when used well. This guidance report reviews the best available research to offer teachers and senior leaders practical advice on how to develop their pupils’ metacognitive skills and knowledge. We have used the findings of this report to inform the development of our Curriculum. Please use the link to find out more.
EEF Research 'Five-a-Day' to Improve SEND Outcomes
The evidence which informed the EEF Special Education Needs in Mainstream Schools guidance report that there are five particular approaches which can be integrated into day-to-day teaching practice to raise attainment among children with additional needs, as well as their classmates. Harnessing these evidence-informed strategies will positively support all learners, including those with SEND. Please use the link to find out more. Following the EEF research, at St Hilda's we have formed our own St Hilda's 5 a day approach to ensure all learner can reach their full potential.
