2016-17 SEND Provision Map

Ladybridge Primary School Whole School Provision Map 2016 – 2017 Information for Parents/Carers As a school we must record details of additional or different provision made under SEND support (in the form of a provision map).

What is a provision map?

A Provision Map is an ‘at a glance’ way of showing the range of provision a school makes for children identified as having additional/special edicational needs. Each schools provision map is unique as it is based on their current pupils’ needs.

Why do schools use them?

They allow us to plan how best to use the resources we have available for children with additional/special educational needs.

What do they tell you?

They show how decisions are made to allocate extra support to pupils. There are clear criteria for identifying which children need extra support, and for identifying how long the support will last and if it has worked well.

How do they help children?

Provision maps are a way of planning support for all children with SEND. They help us to track a child’s progress, and to measure the effect of the support. They also provide evidence to external agencies and the Local Authority of children’s needs and the provision being made.

Targeted Special Educational Provision Once teachers have identified the specific areas of need and gaps in children’s learning (by completing the relevant age specific initial identification pages and discussing the findings with the SENCo), additional or different provision targeted at these key area/s is planned for.

Responsibility Class teachers retain responsibility for all pupils, even when a pupil is undertaking targeted provision away from them . Therefore teachers are firmly at the centre of the process of planning this provision.

Outcomes not hours The most important thing is to be absolutely clear about the outcome we want from any SEND support that we provide –not how many hours of teaching assistant or other staff time is provided. We set clear dates to check progress and evaluate the support that we use in our school.

Target Setting –linked to Targeted Provision We ensure that where additional or different targeted provision is planned for, there are clear and expected outcomes linked directly to the provision. We have to have a very clear reason for taking children out of their class and away from their teacher. What is the expected outcome by the end of, for example, the term / half term, is discussed, agreed and planned for.

The Process When drawing up a provision map, we ask the following questions:      

Who will we involve in drawing up the provision map?

What information will we need?

How will we decide what to include?

How will we put it into practice?

How will we monitor / review the provision?

How will we use our evaluations to inform future practice?

We have colour coordinated the provision we provide as a school so that it is very easy to identify the different types of provision in place. For example: Guided Reading is NOT additional or different provision as all children have access to this. However, if a child was to receive extra Guided Reading then that would be additional provision.

We put in place provision for children that are underachieving and children that are identified as SEND – this must also be differentiated so that we can see the difference.
