Policy paper: Every child achieving and thriving (Schools White Paper)

Reforms to the schools and SEND systems in England to ensure that every child can achieve and thrive.

Every child achieving and thriving

6,500 additional teachers delivery plan

Details

This white paper and accompanying documents set out the government's vision for schools and special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) reform to support every child to achieve and thrive.

‘Every child achieving and thriving' outlines our ambition to improve the lives of all children and young people. We aim to achieve this by:

• shifting children's school experience from narrow to broad
• ensuring those who have been sidelined are included
• taking children and communities from withdrawn to engaging with schools

The ‘6,500 additional teachers delivery plan' sets out our plans to recruit 6,500 more teachers and is intended to be read alongside ‘Every child achieving and thriving'.

The SEND reform: putting children and young people first consultationoutlines our proposed reforms and asks a series of questions to get the views of everyone with an interest.

We have also written shorter, simpler documents that summarise the schools white paper and SEND consultation for parents and those working in the sector.
