How we monitor the standards of work and learning?
•School records
•Information for parents and carers
•IEPs
•Behaviour records
•Attendance records
•Accreditation routes and achievements
Quality of SEN Provision
•academic progress/achievements can be monitored;
•a record of the school’s involvement with the pupil and with parents/carers is available;
•school accountability and responsibility is taken account of;
•continuity is maintained if a change of staff takes place;
Good Practice – Record Keeping
•Should an appeal be made that the school has the information to respond;
•records keep the child’s SEN data together
•relevant and reliable information is easily accessible.

The Issues Some Schools are Data Rich Information Poor
How do we ensure everyone knows how pupils are doing?
How do we help every teacher make informed judgements on pupil attainment and to forward plan? How do we measure Value Added?
How do we use what information we have to set
sensible targets?
“Students in our school more often than not achieve their full potential” Evidence ?
Professional judgements - Important but Anecdotal
Facts & Figures Provide the Hard Evidence

Meeting DE Needs
given the wealth of data and evidence available, the inspection process should not uncover any issues about which the school was unaware.
does the school make effective use of data as an evidence base to help evaluate performance, identify areas for improvement, and assist with target-setting and assessment for learning?
The data will never provide an absolute view of the school,that can only come through consideration of other qualitative aspects of the school and thus self-evaluation and inspection, while taking account of data, need to also consider other more qualitative factors.
