Partnership for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS)

Meeting the needs of children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in mainstream schools is the cornerstone to improving outcomes (across attainment, attendance and wellbeing), parental confidence and delivering the financially sustainable SEND system, as envisaged in the SEND and Alternative Provision (AP) Improvement Plan.

Partnerships for Inclusion of Neurodiversity in Schools (PINS) will bring health and education specialists and expert parent carers into mainstream primary settings to:

  • Help shape whole school SEND provision
  • Provide early interventions at a whole school level
  • Upskill school staff
  • Support strengthening of partnerships between schools and parent carers
