Evaluation

How we evaluate the effectiveness of SEND Provision

We continuously ensure the provision has a positive impact on the outcomes for all our children / young people.

We do this in a variety of ways, including:

• Robust evaluation of policy and practice which is regularly updated and ratified by governors.
• Book scrutinies and regular monitoring focusing on progress, links to support plans / EHC Plan targets and the impact of interventions.
• SENDCo / Senior Leadership Team (SLT) / Governor monitoring through regular meetings of SLT; meetings with link governor for SEND; sharing of SEND information and data at Full Governing Body Meetings; and through the Head Teacher’s Report to governors.
• Learning walks to focus on: progress, quality and impact of interventions and evidence of Quality First Teaching / High Quality Teaching strategies being implemented in the classroom.
• Performance management linked to the progress of all pupils.
• Taking on board feedback from wider professionals and agencies.
• Continually looking to up-skill staff through Continuing Professional Development (CPD) to meet the needs of all children in school.
• Detailed assessments and target tracking to ensure that all learners achieve and make progress at New Brancepeth Primary Academy.
