Monitoring and Evaluating SEND Provision in Your School: How to Assess and Improve SEND Support

Published on 23 October 2024 at 15:03

Effectively monitoring and evaluating SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) provision is crucial for ensuring every child receives the support they need to thrive. But how can schools make sure their efforts are making a real impact? iSEND Consultancy is here to guide you through the process, empowering schools with the tools to assess and enhance their SEND support systems.

At iSEND Consultancy, we follow four key pillars: Identify, Implement, Invest, and Impact. These pillars form the foundation of our approach to supporting schools in transforming their SEND provision.

Identify

The first step in improving SEND provision is ensuring accurate identification of students' needs. Schools must develop robust systems for early identification of SEND, using both academic performance data and observations of social, emotional, and behavioural challenges. By identifying needs early and accurately, interventions can be targeted, timely, and effective.

At iSEND Consultancy, we help schools establish clear, data-driven identification processes to ensure that no student slips through the cracks.

Implement

Once students’ needs are identified, the next step is implementing evidence-based interventions tailored to those needs. Schools should develop individualised strategies that promote accessibility, inclusivity, and progress for every student. Monitoring the success of these interventions is essential—what works for one child may not work for another.

iSEND Consultancy specialises in helping schools develop and implement personalised intervention plans based on the latest research and best practices in SEND education.

Invest

Investing in staff development is key to maintaining high-quality SEND provision. Ongoing training ensures that teachers and support staff are equipped with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to provide the best possible support for students with SEND. From classroom strategies to specific intervention techniques, continuous professional development is a vital component of success.

Through our tailored workshops and training sessions, iSEND helps schools invest in their staff to build a culture of inclusion and expertise.

Impact

Ultimately, the success of SEND provision is measured by the impact it has on students’ progress. Regularly evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and support strategies is vital to ensure continuous improvement. Are students making measurable academic, social, and emotional progress? Are parents, teachers, and students themselves reporting positive outcomes?

iSEND Consultancy provides schools with the tools and frameworks needed to track and measure the impact of their SEND provision, ensuring that every child achieves their potential.
