HGfL : SEN : Research & Good Practice: case studies

This booklet contains case studies written by colleagues in Hertfordshire Schools. These case studies are examples of good practice that have made a difference in the individual schools.

We have been gathering these examples of good practice over the past 3 years. Schools were identified either by Ofsted Inspectors or CSF colleagues as having good practice with regards to SEND and Inclusion; they were then invited to submit a case study.

The publication of this booklet has been funded by the Eastern Region Hub. All schools in Hertfordshire will receive a copy along with colleagues in neighbouring Local Authorities.

We would like to thank all the schools who have taken part in this exciting project.
