  1. The Inspection of Provision for Special Educational Needs Charlie Henry HMI National Lead for Disability and Special Educational Needs Support and Aspiration: Implementing the SEN Reforms Newcastle September 2013

  2. High aspirations and a focus on enabling children and young people to be as independent as possible led most reliably to the best achievement. (SEND Review, Ofsted (2010)

  3. Best practice: Achievement • Clear and detailed understanding of ‘next steps’ • Focus on pupils’ starting points – expected and exceeding expected progress • Progress and attainment data are evaluated thoroughly • A wide range of data is evaluated and used effectively to improve standards/progress and improve provision (RAISE and school data; groups and interventions) • Narrowing of the attainment gaps between the pupils and all pupils nationally

  4. Best practice: Achievement • Analysis with reference to national transition matrices • Analysis with reference to progression materials (where pupils are attaining below NC levels) • Moderation is rigorous and developmental • Destinations/progression/accreditation • Communication skills/literacy • Achievement across a wide range of subjects • Levels of independence • Governing body role: knowledgeable and challenging

  5. Best practice: Teaching • Structured and managed according to the needs of the pupils and the learning objective • A very strong focus on learning rather than on engagement and being busy • Challenging and motivating activities – making effective use of knowledge about pupils’ attainments and interests at which pupils are working and the level of challenge then offered by staff • Development of communication, literacy and mathematics

  6. Best practice: Teaching • Systematic and effective on-going assessment and evaluation that informs teaching and improves learning • Knowledge of the pupils and the implications of their special needs • The management and evaluation of additional support towards improving learning – increasing independence • Effective feedback - development of advocacy, choice, decision making

  7. Best practice: Behaviour and safety • ‘Thirst for knowledge and a love of learning’ • Equally high attitudes across subjects • Attendance, exclusions, internal sanctions - show thorough evaluation of the impact of strategies in place over time • Skilled and highly consistent behaviour management – excellent improvement in behaviour by those who have identified behavioural needs

  8. Best practice: Behaviour and safety • Rigorous consideration of all forms of bullying and the impact of interventions, including curriculum improvement • Thorough investigation of seeking parents‘ views and the response to these to show improvements over time • All feel safe – including those at Alternative Provision – and understand how to keep themselves safe

  9. Best Practice: Leadership and management • Pursuit of excellence – uncompromising and highly successful drive towards the highest levels of achievement • Relentless drive to improve teaching - rigorous performance management • Close tracking and rigorous monitoring of progress with intervention quickly put in place • Any differences in subjects are effectively challenged • Any dip in progress when teaching known to be meeting needs and of good quality quickly triggers further effective assessment, including involving parents and carers.

  10. Best Practice: Leadership and management • This in turn should lead to carefully matched intervention being put in place quickly. • Curriculum – promotes the ‘love for learning’; contributes very positively to academic achievement, physical well-being and SMSC development • English, literacy and mathematics • A thorough evaluation of the impact of additional provision, including additional staff, in helping to improve students’ progress - and making adjustments to any provision accordingly

  11. Best Practice: Leadership and management • Highly effective engagement with parents – including those who find working with school to be difficult • Safeguarding • Governors are knowledgeable and challenge rigorously

  12. The Future • The Children and Families Bill • The Code of Practice • Changes to national assessment and curriculum? • Increased emphasis on destination?

  13. Best Practice • Strong teaching and learning • Accurate assessment and identification • Well-designed curriculum • Close tracking and rigorous monitoring of progress with intervention quickly put in place • A thorough evaluation of the impact of additional provision (including alternative provision) • Clear routes to gain specialist support • AMBITION
