Representing Ofsted, Sproston will host a seminar titled ‘Removing Barriers, Improving Outcomes: Ofsted on SEND and Inclusion’, offering insight into the inspectorate’s approach to supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Holding the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) and the National Award for SEND Coordination, Sproston brings extensive experience to the session. He leads inspections of primary, special and independent schools, and also leads and quality assures area SEND inspections, placing him in a strong position to address current challenges and developments in inclusion.
