Background:
We chat with, Caroline Farber, Headteacher at the Abbey Primary School in Northampton about how Provision Map has helped pupils there.
Abbey Primary School in Northampton, UK educates a diverse student population with a higher than national average proportion of disadvantaged pupils and pupils with special educational needs. The school's mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where students can thrive academically and emotionally.
Improving pupil outcomes
For the school, improving pupil outcomes means providing students with the knowledge, skills and emotional support they need to succeed in school and in life. The school's focus is on social-emotional development, independence in learning and developing a growth mindset. The school believes all pupils have the potential to succeed and strives to create an environment that supports and encourages them to do so.
Previous systems and processes
Before implementing Provision Map, the school used a combination of manual record-keeping and spreadsheets to track pupil progress and interventions. However, this system was time-consuming and often resulted in duplicate data entry. It also made it difficult for teachers and support staff to access and share information.
How Provision Map helps
With Provision Map the school could easily track student progress, identify areas where additional support was needed and monitor the impact of interventions, all in one place. This helped reduce staff workload, enabling them to focus on providing targeted support to pupils.
Reducing SEN workload
Reducing SEN staff workload has had a positive impact on pupil outcomes. By using Provision Map to track interventions and monitor progress, the school has been able to identify students who need additional support and provide it in a timely and effective manner. This has helped improve the academic and emotional outcomes of students with SEN, enabling them to make greater progress and achieve their potential.
Conclusion
Provision Map has transformed how Abbey Primary School managed their SEN workload, helping the school to improve pupil outcomes and create an environment where all pupils can thrive.
