The theme of this free report is ensuring that all children do as well as possible, whatever their backgrounds, special needs or disabilities. It’s about narrowing the gaps in performance.

The report also looks at what Ofsted says in the new inspection framework about inspecting the achievement of different groups, including children on free school meals, boys, children who are learning English as an additional language, those who have special educational needs, children from minority ethnic backgrounds, and others. It describes work in three schools that have specific successes to share and includes action points to help you focus on any gaps you have identified in your own school.
