School Action Plus

If your child has failed to make significant or inadequate progress they may need to move to School Action Plus

Your child's progress will be reviewed regularly. It may be that his/her special educational needs continue to cause concern. If so, it is likely that, at a meeting when the IEP is reviewed, the SENCO, teacher/s and parents will decide that more support is needed.

The SENCO will ask for advice from outside specialists, such as an educational psychologist and/or teachers from support services. These specialists will look at your child's records to get a full picture of his/her progress, the strategies already used by the school and targets that have been set and achieved.

Together with the SENCO and teachers the specialists will develop a plan for your child, which may include:

•	Regular advice to teacher/s on working with your child
•	Teaching support
•	Equipment and teaching materials
•	Information technology
•	Specialist assessment

The plan for your child will be recorded in a new IEP, which will be monitored and reviewed regularly (ideally, termly). Your child's teacher/s will be responsible for making sure the plan is put into action in the classroom.

Please refer to the Code of Practice 5:43 - 5:44, 6:50 - 6:62 for further information on Identification, assessment and provision in primary and secondary sector schooling.
