4. Integrated Delivery “Building and retaining links with parents and local communities is integral to raising aspirations and ambitions for children in outstanding schools. Evidence suggests that parental engagement outstrips every other single factor... In the most effective schools, there is evidence of positive relationships both within and outside the school. A key indicator for school effectiveness relates to schools maximising the use of local integrated children’s services”

5. “The world of work is changing... Organisations are having to adapt to a changing world...private and public sectors face a tougher world – one in which they are judged more harshly than before on their effectiveness” Charles Handy : The Age of Unreason

18. Changing Role of the SIP • Education Bill removed duty on LA to provide SIP • LCC to continue to provide support, challenge and monitoring function to schools under the 2005 Act • Some functions will be discontinue where we expect new guidance, for example the discontinuation of Heads PM (Note: Until the Bill becomes Law and the new guidance is issued we can not be precise about this area of activity) • The title SIP has a specific set of responsibilities so the new role will be called Professional Adviser for Schools (PAfS) • Key new role will be to enhance and improve relationships between locality teams and schools to ensure appropriate and focused service from the locality are in place to support children and meet their needs

19. Professional Adviser for Schools (PAfS) • All schools can expect a core entitlement of activity from the PAfS, although there will be increased activity based on level of vulnerability of the school. The core entitlement will be: • Support to evaluate attainment and achievement • Support to monitor evaluation of progress against agreed priorities, including paired learning walks and brokering support • Support in the identification of improvement priorities • Evaluation of SEND provision and key variations in performance between groups of pupils linked to strategies to narrow the gap • Evaluation of the effectiveness of the CAF/TAC in supporting vulnerable children and working with locality based staff help to resolve school based issues • Support for Ofsted inspections and Headteacher recruitment as and when needed

20. The New Framework for Inspection 2012 Ofsted Framework

21. What do we know? • What can you expect from us? • A self evaluation guide. • An updated QA handbook for middle leaders. • SSE support. • Much more emphasis on lesson observation and on pupils’ perceptions/experiences. • No requirement for lesson plans. • Change in progress indicators. • On-line SEF removed and no SEF format for guidance. • Key areas: Achievement, Teaching, Behaviour and Safety, Leadership and Management. • The overall effectiveness judgement will take account of SMSC.

22. Achievement • Attainment-actual outcomes compared to national averages – may shift over time! The floor standard will be important for some schools. • Progress-CVA out. • Progress in English and mathematics Progress in subjects. • Narrowing gaps-FSM/pupil premium, SEND, boys/girls etc • Learning and progress in lessons- access to learning (reading, writing)

24. 2011 performance tablesKEY STAGE 4 • For continuity, 5+A*-C (or equivalent) including English and maths will be prominent in 2011, accompanied by Best 8 VA. • Composition of “the Basics” yet to be determined pending impact of Wolf: • English and maths? • English, maths and 2 science? • To replace 5+A*-C (or equiv) inc E&M? • Or will 5+A*-C (or equiv) inc E&M continue with improved equivalences? • More on Wolf later …. • Will publish more on EBacc: • VA for each subject area. • No single overall EBacc VA because can reward poor entry patterns.

25. ENGLISH: 56% Att.on entry Pupils 3 level progress National average 3c 11 18% -2 37% 3b 13 38% -2 54% 3a 27 44% -6 67% 4c 40 35% -7 52% 4b 53 62% -6 74% 4a 38 82% -3 89% 5c 51 61% -8 77% 5b 12 83% -1 94% 5a 0 99% English 35 students out of 215 did not make the expected progress (so 84% did)

26. Qualityof teaching • Similar to current schedule and obvious link between achievement and the learning and progress evident in lessons. • Looking for evidence that subject specific skills are taught. • Looking for evidence that independent learning skills are encouraged. • Emphasis on “communication” skills – literacy (reading and writing). • Assessment remaining a key focus- feedback, challenge and support. • Expect more work scrutiny/more in-depth discussion with pupils to assess learning in lessons and the impact of assessment on their learning.

27. Behaviour and safety • First hand evidence of behaviour in lessons and around the school. • Pupils’ views actively sought: “ Freedom from bullying” • Attendance: impression that this may be evaluated on site – does the school’s attendance figure tally with attendance in lessons, is attendance peculiar? • Punctuality

28. Leadership and management, Overall Effectiveness • Ambition (for achievement) • An improvement culture-teaching, CPD • Accurate self-evaluation • Safeguarding • Capacity to improve • AND: curriculum, partnerships, engagement with parents, equal opportunity. • Overall effectiveness • All 4 key areas and SMSC

29. Support and Aspiration: A new approach to Special Educational Needs and Disability

30. The Governments Case for Change • Around two million children and young people identified as having a special educational need or who are disabled; • Their life outcomes are disproportionately poor; • Post-16, young people with SEN are more than twice as likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET) as those without; • They can feel frustrated by a lack of the right help at school or from other services; • Children’s support needs can be identified late; • Parents say the system is bureaucratic, bewildering and adversarial; and • Parents have limited choices about the best schools and care.

31. The Governments Vision A radically different system that: The Green Paper proposes: A new approach to identifying SEN Supports better life outcomes for young people A single assessment process and ‘Education, Health and Care Plan’ A local offer of all services available Gives parents more confidence by giving them control Parents to have option of a personal budget by 2014 Giving parents a real choice of school Transfers power to front line professionals and to local communities Greater independence to the assessment of children’s needs
