Finally
There is no separate judgement for special educational needs (SEN)
provision under the Ofsted inspection framework. SEN provision forms part of
whole-school inspection.
Paragraph 8 of the inspection framework explains that, when reporting,
inspectors must consider:
 The spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development of pupils at
the school
 The extent to which the education provided by the school meets the
needs of the range of pupils at the school, and in particular the needs of
disabled pupils and those who have SEN
SEN provision forms part of the whole school inspection
