Intended Outcomes

 

This explains the outcomes we are aiming for by the end of our current strategy plan, and how we will measure whether they have been achieved.

 

Intended outcome

Success criteria

Vulnerable groups of learners have made good progress in line with their baseline results, particularly in Literacy and Numeracy.

 

 

Identified learners have made good progress from their baseline assessments in literacy, particularly phonics and the application of phonics in their reading and writing.

Progress will be closely monitored through:-

-       Rigorous tracking and monitoring of data using pupil profiles

-       Vulnerable learners are highlighted on the trackers and reviewed regularly at pupil progress meetings

-       Staff to support learners in class (individually/ grouped) and on targeted interventions

-       Staff to plan clearly differentiated activities to enable vulnerable learners to make progress.

-       Those pupils not making expected progress are identified and the correct intervention is in place.

-       External agencies are involved if/when required.

Identified vulnerable groups of learners who receive targeted interventions have made good progress from their starting points.

Pupils are receiving appropriate and correct interventions based on individual needs.

 

Interventions run regularly and a robust timetable is in place.

 

Assessment data/ tracking data of interventions is regularly monitored closely to ensure pupil progress is strong.

 

Interventions are undisturbed (where possible) and continue to work effectively.

Capacity across the school is developed - invention training and understanding is good.

 

ALNCo to support staff members - organise new or update training.

 

ALNCo to lead LSA pupil progress meetings to monitor the pupils receiving intervention. These pupils needs are discussed on an individual basis.

Tracking shows greater learner resilience from their baseline data (ELSA/NBAR)

Observations of individual/ targeted groups of pupils take place and evaluations recorded.

 

Rigorous tracking and monitoring of progress in nurture provision (ELSA).

 

ELSA sessions run regularly on a weekly basis with regular members of staff.
