How we evaluate the effectiveness of SEN Provision

We continuously ensure the provision has a positive impact on the outcomes for all of our children/young people. We do this in a variety of ways, including:

We evaluate the effectiveness of provision for pupils with SEN by:

• Reviewing pupils’ individual progress towards their goals each term
• Reviewing the impact of interventions after 6 weeks
• Using pupil questionnaires
• Monitoring by the SENCO
• Using provision maps to measure progress
• Holding annual reviews for pupils with statements of SEN or EHC plans

We know that SEN provision has had an impact when:

• We see evidence that the child is making adequate progress academically against national and age expected levels and that the gap is narrowing – i.e. they are catching up to their peers or expected age levels.
• The pupil is achieving or exceeding their expected levels of progress.
• Verbal feedback from the teacher, parent and pupil highlights a positive impact and/or identifies progress.
• Formal or informal observations of the child at school identify evidence of a positive impact and/or identifies progress.
• Pupils move off the SEND register.
