Spotlight Story
See how other schools are using EfL to support learners with SEND
At Uffculme School in Birmingham, a specialist setting for pupils aged 4 -19 with autism and associated needs, curriculum is more than a plan, it’s a personalised journey built entirely around the child. At the heart of Uffculme School is a clear and powerful mission:
Charlotte Stubbs
Headteacher, Lead DSL & SPOC
The team at Belmont School recognise that every child’s journey is unique, and so is the way progress is understood and celebrated. At Belmont, ‘progress’ doesn’t mean test scores or standard benchmarks, it means those moments of wonder, small steps and real growth. And thanks to tools like Evidence for Learning, families are deeply involved in capturing and recognising these achievements every day.
Alex Revens
Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion and SENDCo
