Professionals from across the education sector will have the opportunity to hear directly from Ofsted at this year’s Education Business LIVE, as Senior HM Inspector Adam Sproston takes to the stage to discuss the inspectorate’s approach to SEND and inclusion.
Representing Ofsted, Sproston will host a seminar titled ‘Removing Barriers, Improving Outcomes: Ofsted on SEND and Inclusion’, offering insight into the inspectorate’s approach to supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Holding the National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) and the National Award for SEND Coordination, Sproston brings extensive experience to the session. He leads inspections of primary, special and independent schools, and also leads and quality assures area SEND inspections, placing him in a strong position to address current challenges and developments in inclusion.
The seminar is expected to provide practical guidance and strategic insight for school and trust leaders looking to strengthen inclusive practice and improve outcomes for all pupils.
Education Business LIVE will take place on 26 March 2026 at Old Billingsgate in London. The event will bring together school and trust leaders from across the country for a full day of insight, discussion and networking.
