An evidence-informed use of your IMF allocation.
Inclusive Mainstream Funding is designed to help schools strengthen universal provision so more children can thrive in mainstream classrooms. The DfE encourages schools to invest in approaches that improve leadership, teaching, early intervention, culture, family partnership and inclusive environments.
1decision is not simply a PSHE and RSHE provision. It is a comprehensive Personal Development and Inclusion solution - combining curriculum, workbooks, CPD accredited training and embedded assessment - that supports the wider ambitions of Inclusive Mainstream Funding through a single, coherent whole-school approach.
