[senco-forum] A tricky question (secondary)

Are you obliged to 'review' SAs?  We have a goodly number of SAs on our SEN register, but they have never had reviews.  The only children who are 'reviewed' are Statements and Band D.

I'm not saying this is 'right', just saying what happens (or doesn't happen!)

Our SENCo puts on all children who have more than just class based instruction or a 'disability' which doesn't necessarily affect their learning but may need flagging up to teachers to ensure that they are seated in the appropriate place in the classroom.  So this includes mentored children, children withdrawn for basic literacy intervention, children with slight hearing impairment, monocular vision etc.

I think that the COP is rather vague when it comes to deciding whether or not children should be at SA.  It is not surprising that schools try to 'up the numbers' when CVA is so important to them.

Are any of you being "encouraged" to put pupils on the SEN Register to help with the school's overall value added for KS3 /4?

I've no real issues providing we're offering something to suggest School Action but i'm concerned about how to go about reviews with lots of pupils on the Reg. How do large secondaries cope with reviews at SA?
