Developing inclusion involves students, professionals, partners, parents, carers and the wider community. According to Goodland and Lovat (1993) students with impairments or disabilities do better academically when they are able to socialise with their non-disabled peers during instructional time. Supporting evidence from Goor and Schwenn (1993) also indicate that the interaction between students with or without disabilities enhances academic achievement for students with disabilities. Inclusion and Pupil Achievement Department for Education Skills RR578 (2004 p50), clearly argues that ‘LEAs with high rates of inclusion in mainstream did no worse than those with low rates of inclusion in national tests. At KS 4 in 2002 average point score was 38.55. For non statemented pupils with SEN, in mainstream, it was 21.85. For statemented pupils in mainstream it was 16.99 and for pupils in special schools it was 2.4 points 7 times worse. Add to this the impact of social isolation and low self-esteem it is understandable why 50% or 2.9 million disabled adults of working age are not working many of whom attended special schools’. Recent government statistics from Department for Education Statistical Release (2013) indicate that the attainment gap is narrowing between Level 2 achievement in English and Maths from 2010/11 and that in 2011/12. In 2011 22.4 % of pupils with any SEN achieved level 2 in both subjects whereas 69.2 % of those with no SEN, which is an attainment gap of 46.8 percentage points. In 2010/11, the equivalent statistics were 22.1% with SEN and 69.5% without SEN, a gap of 47.4 percentage points. Both statistics would suggest that inclusion of SEN students in mainstream schools is improving attainment, self-esteem and life chances. Therefore this would suggest that the implementation of the EA has had a positive impact on the inclusion of SEN and within that group, disabled students, improving their attainment What next for SEN provision in schools?>
