Special Schools and Alternative Provision Roundtable March 2026 – Schools White Paper
Schools North East held a roundtable with leaders from special schools and alternative provision (AP) across the region following the publication of the Government’s Schools White Paper ‘Every child achieving and thriving’ and accompanying proposals for reform of the SEND system. The discussion brought together practitioners working at the frontline of SEND provision to examine how the reforms may affect pupils with additional needs, the schools that support them, and the wider education system.
