Graduated Approach: Targeted + Level

In addition to inclusive High Quality Teaching and provision at Targeted Level, some children and young people may require additional to and different from support which requires additional funding in order to secure effective learning and increase the rate of progress.

Targeted + Level: Assess, Plan, Do, Review

Assess

- A range of stakeholders (SENDCO, families, teachers, professionals) will be involved in the assessment strengths and needs.
- Consider all previous assessments and progress over time.
- Identify any further gaps in learning through use of assessment. Progress meetings between stakeholders should take place termly through cycles of Assess, Plan, Do, Review.

Plan

- Long-term additional to and different from provisions are clearly planned for, through Assess, Plan, Do, Review cycles to address specific gaps in learning and recorded on a SEND plan.
- Plan provision using information from a range of stakeholders (families, SENDCO, specialist and outreach teams) with clear, measurable outcomes.
- Ensure aspirations of the family and learner are taken into consideration and are included in the long-term outcomes and throughout the plan.

Do

- Implemented strategies and provision (long term additional to and different from) are recorded in the plan in addition to High Quality Teaching strategies.
- Where appropriate and with the support of other professionals, create a balanced personalised curriculum (bespoke timetable) that addresses needs and supports the learner to make progress.

Review

- Evaluation of plan and provision takes place on a termly basis and other professionals who support the learner are informed or invited as appropriate.
- Decision could include:-
  • Reduce support to Targeted Level (Accelerated progress)
  • Further cycle of Assess, Plan, Do, Review at Targeted + Level (Some progress)
  • Escalation to Specialist Level where additional provision may be required (a minimum 2 cycles at this level)
