Measure What Matters: A Whole School Approach to SEMH and Beyond

1 day (9am to 3.30pm)
£250 + VAT | €300 | £199 + VAT (with Membership)

It is no longer sufficient for schools to have a toolbox of interventions, we now need to have the knowledge to understand and evidence the benefits and outcomes for each child in our setting.

Measure What Matters gives school leaders and practitioners a practical, evidence-led framework for meeting these expectations with confidence.

Built around the SDQ (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire), Consequential Aims and the Ofsted inspection framework, this training helps schools move from reactive support to intentional, measurable whole-school improvement.

Participants will leave with: 

  • Confidence to complete and interpret the SDQ accurately
  • A framework for choosing interventions with clear rationale
  • A completed Social & Emotional Growth & Development Plan
  • Language and evidence to present confidently to Ofsted inspectors
  • A working Consequential Aim linked to school improvement priorities
  • Practical strategies for embedding a measurable whole-school approach

Training Objectives:
  • Understanding the SDQ Learn how to confidently complete, score and interpret the questionnaire to identify SEMH needs accurately and consistently.
  • Create a clear “assess → plan → do → review” cycle that demonstrates why interventions were chosen and how impact is being measured over time.
  • Understand how to select the right level of support, using both quantitative and qualitative evidence.
  • Move beyond vague aspirations and build meaningful, measurable long-term outcomes aligned to the Ofsted framework and DfE guidance.
  • Apply this framework across attendance, behaviour, inclusion, wellbeing, leadership and safeguarding – not just SEMH.
