At Red Kite Learning Trust, we believe every child has the right to thrive and succeed. We are committed to providing an ambitious, inclusive and accessible education that recognises individual strengths, identifies barriers to learning and enables every pupil to make progress and reach their potential.
We want every pupil to feel valued and experience a strong sense of belonging within their school community. We believe that high-quality teaching, early identification of needs and appropriate, timely support are fundamental to helping children develop as confident, independent individuals who can participate fully in school life.
Our Director for Inclusion works closely with SENDCos and school leadership teams across the Trust to develop inclusive practice, strengthen provision and support positive outcomes for pupils. We believe that inclusion is everyone’s responsibility, with all teachers and leaders playing an important role in ensuring pupils with SEND receive high-quality teaching and appropriate support.
Our centralised Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) coordinator model provides dedicated support for the EHCP process, including applications, consultations, annual reviews, mediation and tribunals where required. This helps reduce the administrative burden on school-based SENDCos, enabling them to focus on coordinating provision, supporting colleagues and ensuring pupils benefit from high-quality first teaching, appropriate adaptations and effective interventions.
Partnership is central to our approach. We value the views and experiences of pupils and their parents and carers, working collaboratively with families, school colleagues and external professionals to understand individual needs and identify the support that will make a difference.
Together, we strive to create inclusive school communities where every pupil feels they belong, has the opportunity to achieve their potential and is supported to make a successful transition to the next stage of their education and life.
