Overview
The Legal Framework
The Evidence
Archbishop Sumner's School
Vauxhall Primary School
Andrew this year has got himself into many silly problems but at last seems to beginning to take a little responsibility for himself. However, he can still sometimes be loud, rude and aggressive, not only to me but other staff and children. He also has once again begun recently to not finish work. It is quite obvious Andrew has got the ability to work hard, behave well, he just needs to concentrate on keeping this up".
Archbishop Tenison's School
"Pupils with a variety of needs, but not necessarily special educational needs are grouped into comparatively small bottom sets in Years 7, 8 and 9. Some additional support is offered to these sets so that on occasions they are double-staffed. This is an arrangement made primarily for pastoral and curriculum purposes so that teaching groups are more homogenous and manageable. However, these groups have come to be thought of as special educational needs groups and financial resources identified for special educational needs work are used to sustain them. In reality only a proportion of the pupils in these groups have been clearly identified as having special educational needs and the nature and level of these has not been properly assessed.
The teaching in the support option group is generally sound and sometimes good but the generalised support offered to the bottom sets at Key Stage 3 lacks targets and objectives, does not assess and record pupil progress and is of poor quality."
