From November 2025, inclusion, behaviour, attendance, and wellbeing are set to take centre stage during Ofsted inspections. But what does this mean for schools in practice – especially when it comes to supporting SEMH? In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, we unpack the key changes in the new framework and answer the questions school leaders and teachers are already asking. Will Ofsted finally “get” SEMH? How will inspectors judge behaviour when it looks different for pupils with additional needs? And what does “exceptional” practice actually look like under the new rules? More importantly, you’ll discover the practical steps you can take now to prepare your policies, staff, and systems – so you’re inspection-ready and future-ready. If you want clarity on what Ofsted’s new approach really means for behaviour and SEMH in your school, this episode is for you.Links: <a href='https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/send-handbook?utm_source=podcast'>Download the SEND Behaviour Handbook for FREE</a> Get more free resources about SEMH from Beacon School Support <a href='https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/resources?utm_source=podcast'>from this page</a>
