On an Immersion Day, delegates experience a whole school approach to relational and restorative practice in a mainstream through school (ages 2-19) and identify how relational and restorative practice can support their setting moving forward.

Delegates join our SLT circle, staff circles and pupil coaching circles (primary or secondary). They speak with senior staff and children about their experience of school and the way our values are embodied in practice. They see and hear how we work with SEND, Safeguarding, Inclusion and Curriculum teams to deliver progress.

Coaching has been an integral part of the way we work at Carr Manor Community School since 2005. It means that every single child in our school has a trusted adult they can speak to, who advocates for them, and who supports not just them, but their family too.

You will learn how we implemented Coaching into our school, and embedded its practices into everyday school life. You will hear how staff and children speak about Coaching and how it impacts them.

The Inclusive Cultures 7 Day Leaders Programme is designed to support and challenge school leaders to change the way they think about inclusion, collaboration and ambition.

Through an intensive six-day development course and a one-day school visit, leaders will engage with research informed relational and restorative trauma informed practices. They will use this, and a design framework, to critically reflect on their own setting, in order to implement value-aligned practice.

Moving from closed system thinking to open system thinking, this programme will equip leaders with the tools they need to embed a culture of high challenge, high support.

Through expert facilitation, worked examples, structured reflection and real examples from schools already developing their Inclusion Strategies, participants will explore how to identify barriers, prioritise areas for development and begin translating these into strategic actions and intended outcomes. The session combines a clear overview of DfE expectations with practical support for developing an evidence-informed Inclusion Strategy that reflects the needs of your school.

Participants will leave with greater confidence, practical planning tools and a framework for leading the next stage of strategy development.

Building on the learning from Cohort 1, this fully funded programme will bring together established inclusive leaders from secondary schools and local authorities across the region.

Participants will strengthen their leadership practice, deepen their understanding of inclusive systems and develop their capacity to influence change within, between and beyond their organisations.

Through inclusive learning experiences, practical leadership tools and sustained collaboration, participants will deepen their understanding of the systems in which they work and develop the confidence to influence them.

The Inclusive Leadership for Adaptive Practice Programme has been designed to help schools make this shift.

By bringing together school leaders, teachers and teaching assistants as a single improvement team, the programme supports schools to align inclusive values, organisational systems and professional practice around a shared goal: enabling every learner to belong, participate and thrive.
