[senco-forum] Help Ofsted

Make sure you can explain in detail how those on the CoP were identified,
assessed and monitored.  Why wouldn't the percentage you have identified be
correct?  The lead inspector may have raised this as a 'double take'ie 'Oh,
that number seems low, I'll ask the Head to clarify.'  the percentage of SEN
has a dramatic effect on how results etc are viewed.  Providing your
identification procedures are 'robust' and stand up to scrutiny - no
problem.

best wishes for Wednesday.

Our school has an Ofsted this Wednesday and Thursday. I have been informed
by my head today that the percentage of children on my SEN register is too
low and should be around 20%. Lead inspector has passed this comment in pre
inspection phone-call.

I also have an inclusion register (being Inclusion Manger) that is far
larger, containing G&T, EAL, under-achievers that are part of wave 2
interventions etc.

Help!! Any advice on how to deal with this would be much appreciated.

My Ed Psych, at planning meetings has never passed comment.

Many thanks
