Equals National Conference – 28th June 2024 – Central London

Squaring the Circle

Achieving Good and Outstanding judgements with the successful delivery of Different (non-National Curriculum) Curricula for children and young people with Profound, Complex and Severe Learning Disabilities.

Date: Friday 28th June 2024

Venue: Friends House, 173-177 Euston Road, Central London, NW1 2BJ.

An increasing number of specialist schools are recognising the need for non-traditional curriculum models (such as the Equals Multi-tiered Curriculum) as an alternative to a differentiated National Curriculum to effectively meet their pupil’s needs. Clearly however, not teaching TRADITIONAL National Curriculum subjects, naturally creates a concern for schools and how this might be viewed by Ofsted.


Starting with a reminder of Ofsted’s current Inspection Framework, and how this relates to SEND, delivered by an Ofsted HMI, the day will continue with a succession of interactive talks from leaders of Outstanding Equals Exemplar Schools, on the key issues identified by them in attaining both Outstanding and Good Ofsted judgements over the last 18 months.


These key issues have been identified as:

  • Preparation
  • The deep dive into Reading
  • Other deep dives – negotiable or not?
  • Successfully demonstrating high ambition for all learners at all stages of development, but especially the most academically able
  • Base-lining all learners
  • Adopting an analytic approach to teaching and learning
  • Successfully demonstrating impact

Speakers will include:

  • A senior Ofsted HMI to discuss the Inspection Framework and specifically look at deep dives.

Online CPD Sessions

“Love these courses, it is like having a university lecture/tutorial”

“I love listening to the evidence based information”

“All the information was presented simply and efficiently. It was interesting and the time passed very quickly. An excellent training session”

Rodney House School – Manchester

We feel the online training delivered by EQUALS have been WONDERFUL.  The relevance and depth of the sessions has been fantastic, Peter is a very knowledgeable man. Having training delivered online has enabled all our teachers to attend and have discussions after the event rather than one teacher attending and disseminating which can water down the content.
Thank you so much and keep them coming!

Peter Imray

“Lets focus on things that matter”.

“For those with a profound learning difficulty (PMLD), learning is best done when the learner is placed in the centre of the curriculum”.

Priory Woods School – Middlesbrough

“The Semi-formal Curriculum meets the needs of our special children and we feel more able to promote what the children need rather than being constrained by subject areas”.

“Freedom to be creative and concentrate on individual needs with a focus on independence”.
