How does an SEN Review work?
The day usually begins with a discussion with the Head or Deputy and SENCO. We ask what the school wants from the day and plan around their goals. After about an hour the discussion progresses to a deeper analysis of issues that have been raised, at which point, if relevant, we might briefly visit the SEN office, a classroom or a provision session.
The afternoon is usually spent co-authoring an implementation plan. The plan outlines the issues identified and the solutions agreed with the school. Importantly, it also describes what success looks like and goes into granular detail on who will deliver what and by when, setting a clear path to the school’s next Ofsted level.
At the end of the day the Head and SENCO review the day’s process against the goals agreed at the beginning.
