For local authorities and education partnerships
School improvement
that joins up
the system.
Essential Education Group works with councils, schools and settings on SEND, inclusion and school improvement, alongside two sister platforms that keep information and training in one place.
How we support a local education strategy
Practice, systems
and staff learning.
A local strategy is delivered in classrooms, in meetings with families and in the paperwork between them. We work on all three.
Essential Education Group
School Edition: SEND audits, consultancy, curriculum, leadership and practice-based professional learning across a school, trust or group of settings, shaped by The Essential Education Group Way.
Sendara
A secure, shared place for the SEND journey. Settings, SENCOs and families each have their own portal and can invite health or the local authority, so a child's support is joined up instead of scattered across emails. Being designed with the coming SEND reforms in mind.
Includeo
CPD training for education, health and social care: 900+ CPD-accredited courses across 14 pillars, The Statutory Floor refreshed every year, unlimited staff access and compliance dashboards so settings can evidence their training.
What a partnership looks like
Agreed with you,
reviewed with you.
Start from your strategy
We map the work to your published education priorities and the outcomes you want for children in your schools.
Work with schools and settings
Audits, consultancy and leadership support, with identification of need and work with families at the centre.
Keep the SEND journey joined up
Where settings choose Sendara, schools, SENCOs and families share one secure record rather than chasing emails.
Build staff capability
Includeo gives every member of staff access to accredited CPD, with dashboards that evidence it.
Report and review
Agreed reporting, review points and an honest next decision, rather than assumed renewal.
Due diligence
Evidence on request.
Not on a web page.
Insurance, vetting, policies and references are shared through the procurement process or a secure route, so you can check the documents themselves.
