Assessment

Assessment at Lexden Springs Post Rochford Review

Assessment and Evidence of Progress at Lexden Springs
  • We have developed an IEP assessment system to analyse progress data
  • We are in a planned period of change in terms of assessment and curriculum
  • At Lexden Springs we are making better links between the curriculum we teach and our assessment arrangements. We have developed a new vocabulary (moved away from P scales), for baseline and assessment linked to pupil achievements. (See Skills progression Diagram )
  • We have developed assessment by looking at participation of our pupils curriculum areas relevant to their needs as set out in the EHCP.
  • The Annual Review of the Educational Health care Plan is at the heart of our assessment, teaching and learning. We use the review meeting to discuss what is important for the pupil to develop in terms of skills to meet their needs and to prepare them for the future.
  • Pupil outcomes are driven from the annual review process, we work with the family to ensure outcomes reflect family priorities and concerns (including those of the pupil).
  • We use the SCERTS Framework and principles to set targets for Social Communication and Emotional Regulation. We place a great emphasis on pupils gaining these skills are they are at the foundation of all learning.
  • We are becoming more systematic in delivering information on individualised and personalised outcomes and pupil progress towards individualised learning intentions
  • We have strengthened our moderation so that we can be certain that we are delivering robust and relevant outcomes that are holistic and wide ranging
Curriculum areas

Assessment and curriculum are closely linked as the curriculum meets individual needs of the pupils and the assessment evaluates pupil progress against targets related to learning strengths and needs.

The curriculum has been redesigned, as the school wanted to focus more closely on the strengths and needs of the pupils. This approach ties in closely to the SEND Code of practice. Targets for pupils are led by the areas of need highlighted in the Education, Health and Care Plan. (EHCP). These areas are, Social Communication, Emotional regulation, Cognition, Self Help and Independence, and Physical and Well being. These areas also link to our curriculum areas; Communication and Social Interaction, Me and my Community, Exploration and Discovery, Creative Development and Physical & Self Help. Work Related learning is a feature from EYFS, but with increasing focus as pupils move through the school.
