Good Practice - Case Studies
Inclusion and SEND: How Schools in Hertfordshire are Making a Difference July 2010
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.

St Lukes School
 It is estimated that today 95% of young people own some form of mobile technology. This may be a mobile phone, a handheld gaming device, an MP3 player or a combination of all three. It is a technology aimed at young people, that young people know, and that has become a ubiquitous part of their lives, used to communicate, create, record and share.
