Secondary Management: Managing Inclusion: Reducing the Burden
Since 2003, the headteachers of Coventry's 19 secondary schools have created an alternative to permanent exclusion called "Managed Moves". Having pupils "dumped" on him was a serious issue for Robin Brabban, headteacher of Barr's Hill School when he arrived six years ago. But the scheme allows pupils to be transferred via a pupil referral unit from one school to another. For Martin Bonathan, head of inclusion, this offers a much more sympathetic approach for pupils and allows the negotiation of a fairer distribution of difficult and disruptive pupils between schools.

Secondary Management: Managing Inclusion: Preventing Exclusion
Since 1995, Preston Manor High School in London has been developing ways to help pupils with challenging behaviour move forward rather than be excluded. Assistant headteacher Andy Ward explains that the school was concerned about the high exclusion rate of Black African and Caribbean boys. After consultation they introduced programmes specifically designed to address these pupils' needs. One of these programmes is an anger management scheme in which pupils are encouraged to talk about what upsets them and to role-play positive responses to a variety of situations.

Secondary Special Needs: Complex Special Needs
How do you enable children with complex special needs to thrive in a busy secondary school? Complex Special Needs tells the story of two students with very different needs, Kathryn and Naomi. Kathryn is dysphasic, with cognitive and memory problems. Naomi is diabetic and has visual and hearing impairments. The programme explores how the SEN department at Sackville Community College facilitates their inclusion and learning.

Special Schools: Inclusive Classroom
Thanks to state-of-the-art technology facilities, pupils from Crosshill Secondary Special School, Blackburn, were able to produce a video based on Macbeth. We see them developing key skills to complete their project, editing and selecting sound tracks for their film, which they plan to publish on DVD. The programme also follow pupils Jack and Steven to their local mainstream school for team sports as part of a wider Crosshill vision of inclusion, which sees many such transitions between schools. Crosshill was the first special school in the country to achieve technology college status and attracts the wider community, offering entry-level courses to local high schools in media, business studies and arts GCSE.
