Use our purposefully built tool to decide how to allocate your Inclusive Mainstream Fund if you’re unsure where to start.
In six short questions, you will identify your inclusion barriers and receive a personalised pathway with clear next steps aligned to fund themes and key Ofsted areas
The tool will take less than five minutes to complete. Once completed you receive a personalised checklist and resources for a clear direction of travel for your inclusion funding plan.
Schools are under pressure with attendance challenges and rising SEND referrals at a time where Ofsted is tightening expectations around inclusion, belonging and the need for early intervention. Most schools run wellbeing activities and targeted support, but these often sit in different places and don’t yet add up to one clear inclusion strategy.
The planning tool validates where you are now focusing priorities, funding, and next steps so you can build on what you already have.
Mainstream schools in England now receive separate government funding specifically for inclusion through the Inclusive Mainstream Fund, and must publish an Inclusion Strategy, by 31 December 2026.
This planning tool is a practical starting point, turning your current pressures and provision into clear priorities and a pathway towards an inclusion strategy without feeling overwhelming.
The fund is structured around seven inclusion themes. Worth-its planning tool lays out which of these matter most for your school to ensure funding and evidence focus on the right areas.
