© Crown Copyright Provision maps An at a glance way of showing the range of provision our school makes for children with additional needs Provision maps – what are they?
© Crown Copyright An example Consider the example from another primary school.
© Crown Copyright Why use provision maps? They allow us to audit the needs of children and plan systematically how best to use the schools resources to meet those needs. They allow us to plan both the staffing and the skills that will be required to meet the needs of children. They help us all be clear what extra provision children can access.
© Crown Copyright Why use provision maps? They can reduce paperwork. They prevent over-provision in some classes and under-provision in others.
© Crown Copyright Why use provision maps? They provide good information for parents or carers and increase parents confidence that their childs needs will be met. Provision for individual children can be highlighted, tracked and monitored. Children receive more coherent provision.
© Crown Copyright Activity Consider the case study that tracks the provision a child receives as she progresses through the school. In pairs, discuss the following questions: In terms of strengths and weaknesses what does this case study tell us about the schools approach to provision? If Sarah came into this school again what would you like to see done differently in order to secure more effective provision?
© Crown Copyright Work in year group teams. Think of all the different things that already happen in your year group to provide for children with additional needs. Group your sticky-notes into categories that make sense to you. Activity: what are we doing already?

© Crown Copyright Which of your sticky-notes describe provision that is additional to or different from everyday inclusive teaching? Activity : what are we doing already?

© Crown Copyright Provision mapping 4 pieces in the jigsaw Audit of need Evidence on what works Comparison with existing provision Planning in the light of available school budget
© Crown Copyright Planning effective provision Step 1: Audit projected need using must/should/could chart. Step 2: Compare projected year group needs with current pattern of provision and identify changes and staff development issues. Step 3: Identify available school budget. Step 7: Establish systems for evaluating the effectiveness of our provisions, involving parents or carers and children. Step 5: Plan for staff development. Step 4: Consider the evidence on what works and plan the provision map for the next school year. Step 6: Identify criteria and processes for tracking childrens progress and monitoring impact.
