The February 2026 Schools White Paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving, introduced ring-fenced funding for pupil wellbeing and inclusion, alongside a new requirement for schools to publish an inclusion strategy by 31 December 2026.
Most schools are already doing good work here. The challenge is pulling it together into a strategy that’s grounded in the DfE’s seven principles, evidenced properly, and ready for governors and Ofsted.
We’ve put together a free readiness check to help you see exactly where you stand.
What The Checklist Covers
- Ambitious leadership and governance
- Evidence-based support prioritising early intervention
- High-quality adaptive teaching for all learners
- Accessible, enriching provision beyond the classroom
- Safe and respectful culture fostering belonging
- Strong partnerships with families and wider services
- Inclusive environments and accessibility
Work through it with your SENCO in 15–20 minutes, rate where you stand against each principle, and get a clear readiness summary showing what’s ready to evidence and where the gaps are.
Who It's For
Headteachers and senior leaders in primary schools who want an honest, whole-school picture of their inclusion provision ahead of the December deadline.
