Outwood Systems and Processes

Robust and reliable assessment and tracking, across each academy, is at the heart of systems that track pupils’ progress as a starting point for evaluating and improving the quality of teaching and learning. This is vital for our pupils with SEND. Academies that regularly assess pupils track the progress of individuals and groups of pupils in relation to the targets set for them and intervene accordingly, achieve the best rates of progress and are well placed to intervene to support pupils whose progress raises concerns. Collection and analysis of data through appropriate assessment tools to support discussions about pupils’ progress should be embedded into each academy practice.

This section outlines some of the key systems and processes that we use at Outwood for our SEND pupils.

Outwood SENCO Yearly Calendar 2022/23

This document provides an overview for all the SEND system related actions required on a half termly basis and when to initiate, organise and prepare for these. This includes using the SEND register and key points of entry for Edukey, CPP and the SEMH tracker as well as statutory reviews.

Core Progression Pathway (CPP)

The Core Progression Pathway (CPP) system is a detailed method of tracking progress used across Outwood Primary Academies for those children who are working well below their National Curriculum age-related expectation.

In this section you will find a link to the CPP training videos and 'Using the CPP tool Instructions' document.

Using the SEMH Tracker

Introducing the SEMH Tracker where we can identify pupils with SEMH needs and drill down to find which barriers they need support with and what sort of interventions may be appropriate. Here you will find the link to the Instructions on using the tracker as well as a video tutorial to guide you through how to use it.

Edukey

Edukey Provision Map is a comprehensive tool which enables SENDCo’s and members of the Inclusion Team to map and manage provision effectively and efficiently. It allows the trust to be able to gather essential data regarding provision for students across the academies, in particular those students who have an EHCP or SEND need.

Outwood SEND Quality Assurance Framework (QAF)

The Outwood SEND Quality Assurance Framework (2020) is an evaluation tool with 69 quality Standards for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities which are arranged into a number of different categories. Informed a range of statutory guidance, legislative frameworks and other policies that link with the Trust priorities. Find out more about how this evaluation tool will be used at your academy.

Inclusion Quality Mark

Inclusion Quality Mark provides schools with a nationally recognised framework to guide their inclusion journey. The IQM team help schools evaluate and measure how they are performing; empowering them to improve and grow. And when they’re successful, we recognise their achievement through a system of highly valued awards that provide external validation of their inclusive status.
