School Improvement Support for SEND
Peer to Peer SEND Review
What is a Peer-to-Peer Review?
A Peer-to-Peer review should evaluate the effectiveness of a school’s provision for pupils with
special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). This includes mainstream schools, alternative
provisions and specialist settings. The review should help to ensure that all children, in all
educational settings, achieve their very best, including the knowledge, skills and qualifications
that they need for successful transition, further education and employment. Many schools will
establish an ongoing relationship with their reviewer who can provide follow-up support and
advice.
