Mandatory Inclusion Bases: Rebadging or Reforming? The DfE’s new White Paper, Every Child Achieving and Thriving, is clear: every secondary school must provide an inclusion base. However, secondary school leaders recognise that the real challenge is not merely providing a physical space, but ensuring these inclusion bases foster genuine integration and effectively receive all Year 7 pupils in September. New data from the FFT Education Datalab reveals a staggering "transition leak": > 19% of SEN Support pupils "vanish" from the records in Year 7, only for 30% of them to be re-identified later as challenges escalate. > 23% of Year 6 pupils with an EHCP move into special schools or Alternative Provision in Year 7 > 10% of EHCP pupils leave the state-funded system entirely after Year 6. To fix this, we must move beyond the physical "hub" debate and explore the Neuroscientific Frontier of Mainstream Inclusion. In our latest briefing report for school leaders, we outline a proactive, evidence-based model that moves the needle on both inclusion and academic standards.
