High quality teaching & inclusion by design: a belief that every child can achieve and thrive

The government recently unveiled its vision for the next decade of education in the white paper Every Child Achieving and Thriving. For those of us working in schools, it signals a shift from a ​“narrow” to a ​“broad” vision of childhood, aiming to ensure that every child, regardless of their background, can (and will) succeed. 

The vision is clear, and it is hard to disagree with the ambition. However, as is often the case, the detail around implementation is still emerging. In the meantime, we can focus on what we already know works well in our schools: high quality teaching.
