Orchard Therapeutic Farm - Alternative Provision
Inclusion Training
Inclusion is no longer something that sits at the edge of school improvement. Schools are being asked to include more effectively, to respond earlier, to reduce exclusion, and to evidence impact clearly. At the same time, the system has become more complex.
Under the 2025 Ofsted framework, it runs through leadership, curriculum, behaviour, safeguarding and outcomes.
Schools are expected to show that their approach is:
- consistent
- strategic
- measurable
- legally compliant
- improving outcomes over time
At the same time, the use of Alternative Provision is under increasing scrutiny.
Schools must be able to demonstrate that decisions are:
- lawful under Section 19
- safeguarding-assured
- curriculum-aligned
- time-limited
- focused on outcomes
This is where many schools feel pressure.
Orchard Therapeutic Training has been developed to support schools in that reality, providing a practical, inspection-aware training programme designed to help leaders and staff strengthen inclusive practice, build more effective systems and make confident, ethically sound decisions.
It is structured, grounded in current expectations and focused on what actually works in schools. It helps schools understand what strong inclusion looks like in practice, and how to evidence it with confidence.
