Phase 2 Pilot – September 2026
Inclusive Pathways is currently in Phase 2 of its pilot. The Targeted and Enhanced Offer is available to a selected group of maintained schools that have been contacted directly by the Inclusive Pathways Team.
Schools have been identified using local suspension and permanent exclusion data, helping us target support where it can have the greatest impact while continuing to test and refine the service with Birmingham schools.
Not part of Phase 2? We'd still like to hear from you. To share feedback and help shape the future offer, please contact InclusivePathways@birmingham.gov.uk.
