Full external SEND review

 

The SEND Review evaluates key areas within the NASEN framework through a pre‑visit SEND SEF, discussions with the SENDCo and Headteacher, a review of core documents and approaches, meetings with stakeholders, and a learning walk. The process draws on a full day in school as well as supporting evidence. Following the visit, the reviewer produces a comprehensive SEND Review report outlining strengths and next steps and remains available for follow‑up contact three months later.

This package includes:

  • Pre‑visit review of documentation (shared by the school), including:

SEND Register, SENDCo reports, SEND Action Plan, Intervention Timetable, Provision Map, anonymised My Plan/My Plan+ examples, SEND outcomes and attendance data, CPD log, and a light‑touch SEND website review.

  • Pre‑visit planning call to agree the agenda and timetable for the day.
  • Full‑day on‑site visit, including:
    • Meeting with the SENDCo and Headteacher
    • Discussion of the SEND Action Plan
    • Review of structures, systems, approaches, and outcomes
    • Learning walk
    • Meetings with Subject Leaders (x2)
    • Meetings with TAs (both 1:1 and class‑based)
    • Conversations with SEND pupils across cohorts.
    • Meeting with the SEND Link Governor
    • Feedback session
  • Full SEND Review Report: A comprehensive report outlining strengths, areas for development, and agreed recommendations, with signposting to current, relevant guidance and resources.
  • Follow‑up support: Up to three months of follow‑up support via Teams or phone to help leaders embed recommendations and sustain improvement.

Cost: £1800 (reduction for Melhoria family schools)

We have worked with Lesley and team for several years now and found her support to be excellent.  I can vouch for this after working with various SIAs/SIPs over many years.  Lesley is great at supporting schools herself but one of her great strengths is in finding the best people to do specific jobs, eg safeguarding support, continuous provision, coaching, and much more.  Whatever it is, she knows someone who knows their stuff and can offer the right support!   As an example, she was able to set us up with a school in Wiltshire who were inspirational and, at a difficult time for our school, helped us focus on the important things and really reinvigorated the leadership team.
 
Huge thanks!
