[senco-forum] IEPs

Hi Anne
  What you describe sounds like what we do.  I write them myself using the data I have and collating information from outside agencies.  I will allow up to 2 sides of A4 but not more and preferably much less.
  We do 
  Photo
  Description of area of need.
  KS2 SATS or KS3 SATs.
  CAT test scores from Year 7 and any comments on discrepancies.
  Latest reading and/or spelling ages if relevant.
  Any other relevant test scores eg IQ tests.
  Advice on management, strategies etc from outside agencies.
  Access arrangements.
  I expect subject teachers to decide on their subject specific targets.  I monitor those.

  What did Ofsted want?  Did they want a detailed IEP for each subject for each pupil?

  Our recent Ofsted (we're Secondary) has said that our IEPs do not focus enough on improving what pupils need to learn. 

My LEA advisor has been extremely helpful and suggested that I ask the forum for advice too. Has anyone examples of good clear IEPs that they would be willing to share please?

Ours start with a pen portrait of the pupil written in conjunction with the pupil and sometimes the parents too. We list their academic achievements and levels, obviously targets and there is a space for strategies. There is a space for evaluation and for pupil comments.

We do not like any of the programmes we have seen. We feel they are too impersonal. However I could add in anything anyone else thinks works well.

thanks in anticipation for your help
