Agenda for next meeting (16th September 2026)

Our upcoming meeting focuses on adapting PSHE education for SEND learners (in both mainstream and special school settings) — an essential skill for trainee teachers, who will encounter pupils with SEND in virtually every classroom they teach in. This is also a national priority, with the SEND whitepaper Every Child Achieving and Thriving setting out the government’s formal proposal for SEND reform across the next 10 years, including raising national inclusion standards for all pupils.

During the meeting, we’ll also be introducing our newly updated ITT PSHE curriculum plan, designed to meet the needs of all ITT providers and trainees and aligned with the approach used in the Initial Teacher Training and Early Career Framework (ITTECF).
