Unlock the Power of Strategic Inclusion in Your School
A free MTM webinar for independent school leaders
- Are you getting more complex needs through admissions?
- Do parent expectations feel higher than ever, leading to increasingly complex complaints and even tribunals?
- Are teachers lacking confidence in how to manage neurodiversity?
- Do you feel that SEND/Inclusion considerations are taking up a lot of bandwidth in your school without improving outcomes?
Inclusion is no longer a peripheral concern, it’s a strategic imperative. Schools that embed inclusive practice into their leadership, pedagogy, and systems see measurable gains in outcomes for all pupils, relationships with families, and staff retention.
MTM’s new Inclusion Diagnostic Toolkit is designed to help schools harness data to drive whole-school improvement, not just compliance. By evaluating six key domains from pupil-level trends to market positioning, it provides leaders with the insight they need to build cultures where every learner thrives and every decision is evidence-led.
Across the independent sector, schools are facing a pivotal challenge: how to meet rising SEND demand while sustaining excellence as well as wellbeing. Diagnoses of autism, ADHD, and SEMH needs continue to surge. Yet despite increased effort, paperwork, and goodwill, outcomes for many children remain static, and staff are feeling the strain.
Traditional models of support are increasingly unsustainable. What’s needed is a shift from reactive compliance to strategic inclusion. And that shift must be driven by data.
What you’ll learn on this webinar
- What strategic inclusion really means
Discover why traditional SEND support models are becoming unsustainable - and what a more future-proofed, data-led approach looks like.
- The six domains that define truly inclusive schools
We’ll unpack the six interlinked areas assessed by MTM’s Inclusion Diagnostic Toolkit:
- Pupil-level data
- Parental and family perception
- Staff confidence and capacity
- Curriculum design and learning environment
- Leadership and governance
- Market positioning and admissions
You’ll see how these domains combine to give leaders a 360° view of inclusion across their school.
- How data can reduce workload and improve outcomes
Understand where unmet needs sit, how to personalise support effectively, and how to measure what’s working – and what isn’t.
- What families really value
Learn how to align pastoral care, academic stretch, and communication to meet the expectations and experiences of neurodiverse learners and their families.
- How inclusion links to market advantage
Find out how inclusive messaging, demographic insight, and authentic communication help attract and retain families who feel confident your school can meet their child’s needs.
Why This Matters Now
Diagnoses of autism, ADHD and SEMH needs are rising sharply across the independent sector. Staff workloads are increasing, yet outcomes remain static for many pupils, and wellbeing challenges are intensifying.
Independent schools are uniquely placed to lead - but only if decisions are evidence-led rather than reactive.
With the UK ranked 27th of 36 high-income countries for child mental health, inclusion is not only a moral imperative; it is a strategic necessity for whole-school improvement.
