Inquiry Projects Making an Impact Across Our Schools Our structured, collaborative Inquiry Project, rooted in the framework developed by Carpenter & Egerton (2011) enables our teams to reflect on key challenges, explore new approaches, and evaluate their impact meaningfully. Options Barton successfully implemented proactive strategies via the engagement model, fostering positive pupil engagement by strengthening staff collaboration, anticipating behavioural needs, and embedding consistent support strategies. Through regular reflective practice, staff were better supported, and pupil engagement improved significantly. Underley Garden School developed a flexible pathway for Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) learners, already delivering positive outcomes. This work could lay the foundation for a group-wide best practice hub on PDA. The Grange Therapeutic School showcased the impact of their work through heartfelt quotes from pupils, parents, and carers. The transformation of a young person who first joined in 2020 reminded us just how far the right support can go. His parent told us, “He’s a completely different person from what he was a few years ago. He believes in himself”. Thank you to everyone involved, including Professor Barry Carpenter OBE, who has been instrumental in championing the Inquiry Project model within Outcomes First Group. We’re excited to continue sharing these insights across the group and beyond....Show more

Now that the academic year has come to a close, we’re reflecting on a year of significant progress and impact across Outcomes First Group. This year, we were proud to support 5,673 remarkable children and young people - helping them to thrive in personalised, nurturing learning environments designed around their individual needs. This year also marked the launch of @Blenheim Schools, our new initiative in non-selective education, further expanding the range of pathways we offer to pupils who require specialist support. To meet increasing demand and help more children access the education they deserve, we’ve opened nine new schools, with four more set to open this September. None of this would be possible without the dedication and expertise of our incredible teams, from educators and clinicians to carers and support staff, who work tirelessly to change lives every day. ❤️ Thank you to every colleague, pupil and partner who has contributed to such a purposeful year. We look forward to building on this momentum as we enter a new academic chapter....Show more
