Agenda Profile moderation 2015 – evaluation Profile moderation plan Project Early years baseline Common Inspection Framework (CIF) – Sarah Foulkes VSSR Nyland Campus Outreach transition support procedures evaluation Maintained nurseries – SEN procedures / EYC support

National – % of children achieved a good level of development 58% of children achieved all 17 ELGs 16% gender gap between the percentage of girls and boys achieving a GLD 69% of girls compared to 52% of boys 53% of children in the most deprived areas achieved GLD compared with 65% of children in other areas. WE need 2014/2015 data here

Swindon % children achieved a GLD (up 7%) PD(90%) – highest proportion of pupils achieveing ELG Numbers(79%), Reading (78%) and Writing (72%) are the goals with the lowest proportion of pupils achieving the early learning goal

Writing is the weakest area A greater percentage of pupils achieved ELG in all 17 areas of learning ? There continues to be a significant gap between boys and girls achievements?

Expected+ comparison (Swindon) CL – up 4% PD – up 2% PSED – up 2% Literacy – up 4% Mathematics – up 3% UW – up 2% EAD – up 2%

46 schools met/exceeded 2014 GLD 9 schools below 2014 GLD

EYFSP moderation schools moderated 2 revisits

What went well All schools visited were very accommodating Improvement in practitioner knowledge of moderation procedures Most schools well prepared and organised Improved practitioner knowledge of ELG expectations More cluster moderation had taken place

More TAs took part in moderation visits which was very beneficial to the moderation dialogue Best when all teachers released at same time – supportive dialogue Good when members of SLT present – supportive dialogue

What needs to improve Practitioner knowledge and understanding of ‘exceeding’ – especially technology, maths, writing and PD (exploration of expected and exceeding) Teachers should not be too cautious when making judgements (will not validate where large number of consensus agreements) Greater practitioner understanding of links between ELGs

Data provided at moderation visit must be up to date Longer agreement trialling meetings – schools start as soon as they arrive Discuss PSED and Literacy ELGs at agreement trialling meetings (focus of profile training) Moderator review of previous actions for schools from moderation visits (even if change of teacher)

Early Years baseline How is it going?

EExBA N and EExBA SEND Pilot following concerns that some children will be judged as ‘no’ for many of the statements Yes/no statements to describe ‘typicality’ on-entry– no ‘best fit’ Well-being and Involvement statements Early Support Steps-developmental starting points for each child EE will not collect BA SEND data but will link to Progress Tracker being developed for schools

NCOT transition support evaluation 9 children from 8 settings supported during summer term and into school Feedback from settings – New procedures and NCOT support has been very beneficial Some settings using similar procedures for other children with SEN

We found the Behaviour Support team very positive and supportive with the transition ……The documents were great to use and the whole process went very well. Invaluable support to pre- school and the children during the transition to school.

We also used the document for a few other children that we knew would struggle with the transition and we created a poster for each school children were attending to be able to talk about at circle time with the children

However………. Not all schools engaged fully with the transition process Difficult arranging for school practitioners to attend meeting with setting and parents to draw up transition plan Some schools not open to increasing visits for children with SEND Please your views of the transition process for children with behaviour support
