Inclusioninclude sets out to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through which all learners are able to see the relevance of the subjects studied to their own experiences and aspirations It attempts to provide a learning experience that offers all students regardless of ability sufficient opportunities to succeed in their learning at the highest standard To achieve this level of inclusion projects will
set suitable learning challenges
respond to learnersrsquo diverse learning needs
overcome potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of
learners
Setting suitable learning challengeshellip
Project staff should aim to give every learner the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible The include curriculum programmes of study set out what most learners should be taught ndash but project staff should teach the knowledge skills and understanding in ways that suit their learnersrsquo abilities This may mean choosing knowledge skills and understanding that is less challenging and complex at times so that individual learners can make progress and show what they can achieve A flexible approach will be used to take account of any gaps in learnersrsquo learning resulting from missed or interrupted schooling
For learners whose attainments fall significantly below the expected levels a much greater degree of differentiation will be applied
November 2016 Page 5
For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks
Staff qualifications training and experience All staff are suitably qualified and experienced to undertake their role In addition all include staff are
required to complete a 4 day Common Core Training Programme A unique training package mapped against the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge enabling staff to achieve the skills necessary to provide educational programmes for young people with additional and complex needs
required to complete a 2 day SPINE Behaviour Management Training Programme in line with our Behaviour Management Policy and Work Procedures
Provided with a relevant Induction Manual (Project Managers Tutors Project Workers or Support Workers) Each manual outlines the key roles and responsibilities of the position provides information internally on our procedures and our practice website In addition there are hints and tips in relation to some of the basic problems that people often encounter in a new position working with young people
Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events
November 2016 Page 24
support conclusions using reasoned arguments and evidence
Creative thinkers

Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Inclusioninclude sets out to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through which all learners are able to see the relevance of the subjects studied to their own experiences and aspirations It attempts to provide a learning experience that offers all students regardless of ability sufficient opportunities to succeed in their learning at the highest standard To achieve this level of inclusion projects will
set suitable learning challenges
respond to learnersrsquo diverse learning needs
overcome potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of
learners
Setting suitable learning challengeshellip
Project staff should aim to give every learner the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible The include curriculum programmes of study set out what most learners should be taught ndash but project staff should teach the knowledge skills and understanding in ways that suit their learnersrsquo abilities This may mean choosing knowledge skills and understanding that is less challenging and complex at times so that individual learners can make progress and show what they can achieve A flexible approach will be used to take account of any gaps in learnersrsquo learning resulting from missed or interrupted schooling
For learners whose attainments fall significantly below the expected levels a much greater degree of differentiation will be applied
November 2016 Page 5
For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their

Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they

receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events

Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations
show fairness and consideration to others
take responsibility showing confidence in themselves and their contribution
provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process

Inclusioninclude sets out to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through which all learners are able to see the relevance of the subjects studied to their own experiences and aspirations It attempts to provide a learning experience that offers all students regardless of ability sufficient opportunities to succeed in their learning at the highest standard To achieve this level of inclusion projects will
set suitable learning challenges
respond to learnersrsquo diverse learning needs
overcome potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of
learners
Setting suitable learning challengeshellip
Project staff should aim to give every learner the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible The include curriculum programmes of study set out what most learners should be taught ndash but project staff should teach the knowledge skills and understanding in ways that suit their learnersrsquo abilities This may mean choosing knowledge skills and understanding that is less challenging and complex at times so that individual learners can make progress and show what they can achieve A flexible approach will be used to take account of any gaps in learnersrsquo learning resulting from missed or interrupted schooling
For learners whose attainments fall significantly below the expected levels a much greater degree of differentiation will be applied
November 2016 Page 5
For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills

Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks

Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment

48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Inclusioninclude sets out to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through which all learners are able to see the relevance of the subjects studied to their own experiences and aspirations It attempts to provide a learning experience that offers all students regardless of ability sufficient opportunities to succeed in their learning at the highest standard To achieve this level of inclusion projects will
set suitable learning challenges
respond to learnersrsquo diverse learning needs
overcome potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of
learners
Setting suitable learning challengeshellip
Project staff should aim to give every learner the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible The include curriculum programmes of study set out what most learners should be taught ndash but project staff should teach the knowledge skills and understanding in ways that suit their learnersrsquo abilities This may mean choosing knowledge skills and understanding that is less challenging and complex at times so that individual learners can make progress and show what they can achieve A flexible approach will be used to take account of any gaps in learnersrsquo learning resulting from missed or interrupted schooling
For learners whose attainments fall significantly below the expected levels a much greater degree of differentiation will be applied
November 2016 Page 5
For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks
Staff qualifications training and experience All staff are suitably qualified and experienced to undertake their role In addition all include staff are
required to complete a 4 day Common Core Training Programme A unique training package mapped against the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge enabling staff to achieve the skills necessary to provide educational programmes for young people with additional and complex needs
required to complete a 2 day SPINE Behaviour Management Training Programme in line with our Behaviour Management Policy and Work Procedures
Provided with a relevant Induction Manual (Project Managers Tutors Project Workers or Support Workers) Each manual outlines the key roles and responsibilities of the position provides information internally on our procedures and our practice website In addition there are hints and tips in relation to some of the basic problems that people often encounter in a new position working with young people
Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others

Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions

Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

understand and respect fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
understand their own and othersrsquo cultures and traditions within the context of British values and have a strong sense of their own place in the world
appreciate the benefits of diversity
challenge injustice are committed to human rights and strive to live peaceably with others
sustain and improve the environment locally and globally
take account of the needs of present and future generations in the choices they make
can change things for the better
Inclusioninclude sets out to offer a broad and balanced curriculum through which all learners are able to see the relevance of the subjects studied to their own experiences and aspirations It attempts to provide a learning experience that offers all students regardless of ability sufficient opportunities to succeed in their learning at the highest standard To achieve this level of inclusion projects will
set suitable learning challenges
respond to learnersrsquo diverse learning needs
overcome potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of
learners
Setting suitable learning challengeshellip
Project staff should aim to give every learner the opportunity to experience success in learning and to achieve as high a standard as possible The include curriculum programmes of study set out what most learners should be taught ndash but project staff should teach the knowledge skills and understanding in ways that suit their learnersrsquo abilities This may mean choosing knowledge skills and understanding that is less challenging and complex at times so that individual learners can make progress and show what they can achieve A flexible approach will be used to take account of any gaps in learnersrsquo learning resulting from missed or interrupted schooling
For learners whose attainments fall significantly below the expected levels a much greater degree of differentiation will be applied
November 2016 Page 5
For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks
Staff qualifications training and experience All staff are suitably qualified and experienced to undertake their role In addition all include staff are
required to complete a 4 day Common Core Training Programme A unique training package mapped against the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge enabling staff to achieve the skills necessary to provide educational programmes for young people with additional and complex needs
required to complete a 2 day SPINE Behaviour Management Training Programme in line with our Behaviour Management Policy and Work Procedures
Provided with a relevant Induction Manual (Project Managers Tutors Project Workers or Support Workers) Each manual outlines the key roles and responsibilities of the position provides information internally on our procedures and our practice website In addition there are hints and tips in relation to some of the basic problems that people often encounter in a new position working with young people
Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers

Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions

Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Introduction
This document describes the minimum standards and guidance relating to developing a cooperative and non-discriminatory environment which is supportive and challenging and dealing with instances of harassment bullying and discrimination
We believe that all parents staff and children must be equally respected and treated as individuals taking positive account of age gender religion or belief ethnic origin cultural origin sexual and parental preferences disability pregnancy or maternity and marital status We will
November 2016 Page 41
endeavour to apply this principle to all our policies procedures delivery and interactions across the projects
lsquoLeaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity exceptionally well for pupils and staff so that the ethos and culture of the whole school prevents any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour Leaders staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviourrsquo
lsquoTeachers are quick to challenge stereotypes and the use of derogatory language in lessons and around the school Resources and teaching strategies reflect and value the diversity of pupilsrsquo experiences and provide pupils with a comprehensive understanding of people and communities beyond their immediate experiencersquo
lsquoThe schoolrsquos open culture actively promotes all aspects of pupilsrsquo welfare Pupils are safe and feel safe at all times They understand how to keep themselves and others safe in different situations and settings They trust leaders to take rapid and appropriate action to resolve any concerns they haversquo

For learners whose attainments significantly exceed the expected level of attainment within one or more subjects project staff will need to plan suitably challenging work As well as drawing on work from higher levels of study project staff may plan further differentiation by extending the breadth and depth of study within individual subjects or by planning work which draws on the content of different subjects
Responding to learnersrsquo diverse learning needshellip
When planning project staff should set high expectations and provide opportunities for all learners to achieve including boys and girls learners with special educational needs learners from all social and cultural backgrounds and learners from different ethnic groups such as travellers Project staff need to be aware that learners bring to school different experiences interests and strengths which will influence the way in which they learn Project staff should plan their approaches to teaching and learning so that learners can take part in lessons fully and effectively
To ensure that they meet the full range of learnersrsquo needs project staff should be aware of the requirements of the equal opportunities legislation (The Equalities Act 2010) that covers age disability gender reassignment marriage and civil partnership pregnancy and maternity race religion or belief sex sexual orientation and that we actively promote respect for other pupils
Differentiation is an important aspect of ensuring that learner needs are met This should be evident in session planning resource choice and individual support offered during session delivery
Project staff should take specific action to respond to learnersrsquo diverse needs by
o creating effective learning environments
o securing motivation and concentration
o providing equality of opportunity through teaching approaches
o using appropriate assessment approaches
o setting SMART targets for learning
Overcoming potential barriers to learning and assessment for individuals and groups of learners
Curriculum planning and assessment for learners with special educational needs must take account of the type and extent of the difficulty experienced by the learner Project staff will encounter a wide range of learners with special educational needs some of whom will have disabilities In many cases the action necessary to respond to an individualrsquos requirements for curriculum access will be met through greater differentiation of tasks and materials
November 2016 Page 6
consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks
Staff qualifications training and experience All staff are suitably qualified and experienced to undertake their role In addition all include staff are

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their

curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events
November 2016 Page 24
support conclusions using reasoned arguments and evidence
Creative thinkers
Focus Young people think creatively by generating and exploring ideas making original connections They try different ways to tackle a problem working with others to find imaginative solutions and outcomes that are of value
Young people
generate ideas and explore possibilities
ask questions to extend their thinking
connect their own and othersrsquo ideas and experiences in inventive ways
question their own and othersrsquo assumptions
try out alternatives or new solutions and follow ideas through

Reflective learners
Focus Young people evaluate their strengths and limitations setting themselves realistic goals with criteria for success They monitor their own performance and progress inviting feedback from others and making changes to further their learning
Young people
assess themselves and others identifying opportunities and achievements
set goals with success criteria for their development and work
review progress acting on the outcomes
invite feedback and deal positively with praise setbacks and criticism
evaluate experiences and learning to inform future progress
communicate their learning in relevant ways for different audiences
Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations
show fairness and consideration to others
take responsibility showing confidence in themselves and their contribution
provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)

consistent with school-based intervention A smaller number of learners may need access to specialist equipment and approaches or to alternative or adapted activities consistent with a statement of special educational need or an Education Healthcare Plan Project staff should where appropriate work closely with representatives of other agencies who may be supporting the learner
Project staff should take specific action to provide access to learning for learners with special educational needs by
o providing for learners who need help with communication language and literacy
o planning for learnersrsquo full participation in learning and in physical and practical activities
o helping learners to manage their behaviour to take part in learning effectively and safely and to prepare for work
o helping individuals to manage their emotions particularly trauma or stress and to take part in learning
o providing a range of learning resources to support individual learning needs
include staff must take account of the 2014 SEND Code of Practice and work with the SENCO in collaboration with the local authority to ensure that children with complex SEN have a current EHC plan which is reflected in their IEP and targets Students with additional learning needs should have comprehensive IEPs and their progress should be monitored closely to ensure their needs are being met The 2014 SEND Code of practice can be found on the Cloud
Personalisation
Personalisation is the process of making what is taught and learnt and how it is taught and learnt match as closely as possible to the needs of the learner
For project staff it means observing learners closely recognising their strengths and areas for further development and drawing on the full repertoire of skills and strategies to meet their needs
For learners it means being engaged not just with the content of what is being taught but being involved with the learning process understanding what is needed to improve and take responsibility for furthering their own progress and realising their own potential
For Project Managers it means constantly thinking about routines and the organisation of learning for all learners so that their welfare and their progress can be mutually supportive
November 2016 Page 7
Opportunities for personalisationThe curriculum offers flexibility for Curriculum Leads Project Managers and staff and to
design a modern relevant and engaging curriculum that
o is tailored and relevant to the particular needs and interests of learners
o is accessible to all learners
o makes connections between the different elements of learnersrsquo learning experiences
o Does not undermine British values
o makes explicit the key concepts and key processes that underpin learning across subjects
o is relevant to the aspirations and progression routes of the young people
o is set within a real life context and offers highly practical and experiential learning opportunities
employ approaches to assessment that foster learning
o are integral to good teaching and learning
o encourage project staff to draw on a wide range of evidence of learnersrsquo achievement from both in and beyond the project
o engage learners themselves in the assessment process
o provide helpful ongoing feedback to learners and their parents or carers so that targets for further improvement are clear
involve young people in their learning
o are challenged to reflect on their learning and identify how they can improve
o exercise choice and develop as independent lifelong learners
o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

o see the relevance of what they are learning to their present and future lives
o are actively engaged with and help to shape the curriculum they experience
Assessment All young people will undertake appropriate assessment at the start and then ongoing as required during the programme All assessment will be appropriate to the programme they are enrolled onto and their age stage ability and needs Each provision will produce its own Framework for Assessing Learner Progress and Target Setting Policy outlining how assessment is used to support progress
November 2016 Page 8
A range of assessment ndash both formal and informal ndash will be undertaken to enable staff to tailor the curriculum to suit each young person Every young person will be involved in the include integrated APR process as well as any specific assessment and processes required by the commissioner Information will be gathered and assessed in relation to a range of factors such as
Level of ability (Outcomes should enable identification of the most appropriate national curriculum level)
Needs and wants
Preferred-learning style
Key issues
Interests
Personal circumstances and history
Life skills
Self-management (including anger management)
Risk assessment
Readiness to change
Suitabilityinterests in relation to employment
Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve
November 2016 Page 9
Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others

Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Required guided learning hours
Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects

62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Why is assessment important
Assessment should be a planned part of teaching and learning Assessment helps to set clear expectations for standards and achievement It ensures progression in teaching and learning and motivates pupils because they become partners in the assessment process It allows pupils to be clear about strengths and weaknesses in their learning and enables teachers to be clear about the achievements of their Improving learning through assessment depends on five key factors
1 The provision of effective feedback to pupils
2 The active involvement of pupils in their own learning
3 Adjusting teaching to take account of the results of assessment
4 A recognition of the profound influence assessment has on the motivation and self-esteem of students both of which are crucial influences on learning
5 The need for students to be able to assess themselves and understand how to improve

Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks

Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment

48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Connectivity To ensure that the work undertaken has maximum relevance to individual young people and that the practical value of the learning is readily understood an integrated approach to curriculum planning and development is adopted Curriculum delivery should where possible encourage functional skills to be developed through real life scenarios and experiences and provide cross-curricular opportunities
Working for change Throughout the programme work will be undertaken to achieve change by targeting the young personrsquos thinking and behaviour Using a cognitive behavioural approach the change programme will be framed within a continuous cycle of assessment planning intervention and review At the core of the work will be direct engagement with the young person in exploring the difficulties that she is encountering gaining the commitment to change and to undertaking a structured change programme Information from the assessment phase will be integrated into a clear and specific action plan for change Intervention will be based on a structured sequence of change breaking the change process down into a series of intermediate steps or small goals leading to an lsquoend pointrsquo The programme will be subject to regular and frequent review which will aim to establish what is or isnrsquot working make necessary refinement of the approach or methodology maintain the young personrsquos confidence and enable self-evaluation and self-reinforcement by the young person
Use of information and communication technology across the curriculumhellip
Pupils are given opportunities to apply and develop their ICT capability through the use of ICT tools to support their learning in all subjects
Pupils are given opportunities to support their work by being taught to
o find things out from a variety of sources selecting and synthesising the information to meet their needs and developing an ability to question its accuracy bias and plausibility
o develop their ideas using ICT tools to amend and refine their work and enhance its quality and accuracy
o exchange and share information both directly and through electronic media
o review modify and evaluate their work reflecting critically on its quality as it progresses
November 2016 Page 10
Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks

Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Health and safety
When working with tools equipment and materials in practical activities and in different environments including those that are unfamiliar pupils should be taught
o about hazards risks and risk control
o to recognise hazards assess consequent risks and take steps to control the risks to themselves and others
o to use information to assess the immediate and cumulative risks
o to manage their environment to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others
o to explain the steps they take to control risks
Staff qualifications training and experience All staff are suitably qualified and experienced to undertake their role In addition all include staff are
required to complete a 4 day Common Core Training Programme A unique training package mapped against the Common Core of Skills and Knowledge enabling staff to achieve the skills necessary to provide educational programmes for young people with additional and complex needs
required to complete a 2 day SPINE Behaviour Management Training Programme in line with our Behaviour Management Policy and Work Procedures
Provided with a relevant Induction Manual (Project Managers Tutors Project Workers or Support Workers) Each manual outlines the key roles and responsibilities of the position provides information internally on our procedures and our practice website In addition there are hints and tips in relation to some of the basic problems that people often encounter in a new position working with young people
Curriculum Overview
It is policy at include that all learners have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that caters to their individual needs This will take into account the current National Curriculum and give all pupils ldquoexperience in linguistic mathematical scientific technological human and social physical and aesthetic and creative educationrdquo as required by The Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations 2010
November 2016 Page 11
The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Required guided learning hours
Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment

48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

The include curriculum covers 7 areas of learning
Linguistic This area is concerned with developing pupilsrsquo communication skills increasing their command of language through the interactive use of listening speaking reading and writing There will be lessons in both written and spoken English
Mathematical This area helps pupils to make calculations to understand and appreciate relationships and patterns in number and space and to develop the capacity to think logically and express themselves clearly Their knowledge and understanding of mathematics should be developed in a variety of ways including practical activity exploration and discussion
Scientific This area is concerned with increasing pupilsrsquo knowledge and understanding of nature materials and forces with developing the skills associated with science as a process of enquiry eg observing forming hypotheses conducting experiments and recording their findings
Technological Technological skills can include the use of information and communication technology (ICT) developing planning and communicating ideas working with tools equipment materials and components to produce good quality products and evaluating processes and products
Human and social This area is concerned with people and their environment and how human action now and in the past has influenced events and conditions In our schools History and Geography will make a strong contribution in this area
Physical This area aims to develop the pupilsrsquo physical control and co ndash ordination as well as their tactical skills and imaginative responses and to help them to evaluate and improve upon their performance Pupils should also acquire knowledge and understanding of the basic principles of fitness and health
Aesthetic and creative This area is concerned with the processes of making composing and inventing There are aesthetic and creative aspects of all subjects but some make a particularly strong contribution including art music dance drama and the study of literature because they call for personal imaginative and often practical responses
Vocational and Work Related Learning in addition to the core curriculum where appropriate vocational courses and work experience will be offered
Each provision will produce an annual curriculum statement outlining its offer and the rationale behind it

Required guided learning hours
Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions

Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations

provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their
November 2016 Page 15
curriculum subjects allowing for pupils to participate in controversial and ethical debates that challenge their own beliefs
All members of staff are made aware through Prevent Duty training the importance of the Standards for Teachers including these elements in Part 2 of the Standards
bull ldquoshowing tolerance of and respect for the rights of others
bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their

bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs

The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions

Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations
show fairness and consideration to others
take responsibility showing confidence in themselves and their contribution
provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities

Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years
APPENDIX 8The Equalities Act 2010 High quality learning in relation to promoting protected characteristics
Introduction
This document describes the minimum standards and guidance relating to developing a cooperative and non-discriminatory environment which is supportive and challenging and dealing with instances of harassment bullying and discrimination
We believe that all parents staff and children must be equally respected and treated as individuals taking positive account of age gender religion or belief ethnic origin cultural origin sexual and parental preferences disability pregnancy or maternity and marital status We will
November 2016 Page 41
endeavour to apply this principle to all our policies procedures delivery and interactions across the projects
lsquoLeaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity exceptionally well for pupils and staff so that the ethos and culture of the whole school prevents any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour Leaders staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviourrsquo

Session PlanningIn order to create a consistency of approach across the organisation and enable the sharing of best practice session plans should follow the include session plan template This requires that all taught sessions highlight the learning aims and objectives intended for the learners Objectives should be made clear to learners at the beginning of the session in order that progress can be measured The template also requires planning to consider links to other curricular issues eg PLTS learning styles and how the session will meet qualification assessment criteria Differentiation techniques and resources should be noted and session plans shared with all staff involved in the delivery prior to the session
After the session has been delivered the plan should be updated reviewing learner progress in order to inform planning for the next session and to allow personalisation Session plans should be held in the project office where all staff can access them easily
SMSC Fundamental British Values Equality and Prevent in the Curriculum
Our pupilsrsquo SMSC development is at the heart of our curriculum all provisions effectively demonstrate they are actively promoting fundamental British values through lesson planning and observations both within the classroom and beyond All pupils within provisions are actively encouraged to have a voice and contribute democratically to the communities they belong to
Through effective curriculum mapping (see appendices) Catch 22 Include promotes effective and equitable SMSC and British values development for our pupils This is mainly delivered through the VotesforSchools weekly lesson debate and vote however there is also opportunity for cross-curricular delivery
The Prevent agenda is also mapped using the guidance to projects encouraging good planning and keeping the holistic development of our pupils at the heart of all subjectsrsquo curriculum delivery Staff are encouraged to be confident to plan and deliver lsquoissuesrsquo based learning through their

bull ldquonot undermining fundamental British values including democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
bull ldquoensuring that personal beliefs are not expressed in ways which exploit pupilsrsquo vulnerability or might lead them to break the lawrdquo
The curriculum is underpinned by the philosophy of equality and the development of SMSC and British values is delivered to all pupils regardless of gender age religious beliefs sexual orientation and other groups included within the Equalities Act 2010
We have carefully considered and analysed the impact of this policy on equality and the possible implications for pupils with protected characteristics as part of our commitment to meet the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) requirement to have due regard to the need to eliminate discrimination advance equality of opportunity and foster good relations

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Appendix 1
Guidance on inclusive PracticeWhen considering inclusion it is important to take a whole-schoolproject approach as the holistic needs of the learners are paramount Inclusion needs to be considered not only in terms of subjects and lessons but also in terms of where learners are taught the pastoral support they
November 2016 Page 16
receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people

November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions

and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

receive the relevance of what they are taught and how they are grouped All these can be approached systematically by addressing differentiation motivation and barriers to learning
Differentiation in setting goalsIn lsquopersonalisedrsquo sessions all learners know the areas they need to work on whether these relate to a subject an area of social or thinking skills or their personal targets set out on an Individual Education Plan Project Staff and learners can then work together towards a situation in which the assessment of progress in a lesson or a sequence of lessons becomes a dialogue based on agreed success criteria The process of putting this in place will present barriers to some learners with learning difficulties if time is not allowed for its introduction and care given to the elements of communication and understanding that will make it work
Differentiation in planningLearners at all levels of attainment may benefit from a different approach Lessons are designed around a focal point with activities that permit a range of objectives for the members of the session lsquoThe personalised session does not entail having (10) separate teaching plans it is about having one strong inclusive plan which allows as much room as possible for individual engagement targeted support a degree of choice and respect for the range of abilities and interests in the classrsquo (Making Good Progress DCSF 2007) Differentiation should be done in planning sessions looking ahead in order to ensure there is enough time to acquirecreate suitable resources to deliver the planned session effectively Session plans should highlight extension activities and the resources andor support required to allow equality of access to the lesson
Sharing of differentiated plans and resources within and between schoolsprojects for example by putting them on lsquothe cloudrsquo saves time and promotes good practice Sharing plans and resources is encouraged as it also provides an opportunity for delivery staff to form a community of learning and develop a standardised approach to teaching and learning
Pupil groupingIn sessions project staff need to consider
the reasons for the groupings they use
varying the groupings
Mixed-ability pairs and groups can help one another lsquoBuddiesrsquo can offer emotional and practical support In this way low level ability learners have less chance to become demotivated and believe that little can change
November 2016 Page 17
Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events
November 2016 Page 24
support conclusions using reasoned arguments and evidence
Creative thinkers
Focus Young people think creatively by generating and exploring ideas making original connections They try different ways to tackle a problem working with others to find imaginative solutions and outcomes that are of value
Young people
generate ideas and explore possibilities
ask questions to extend their thinking
connect their own and othersrsquo ideas and experiences in inventive ways
question their own and othersrsquo assumptions
try out alternatives or new solutions and follow ideas through
adapt ideas as circumstances change
Reflective learners
Focus Young people evaluate their strengths and limitations setting themselves realistic goals with criteria for success They monitor their own performance and progress inviting feedback from others and making changes to further their learning
Young people
assess themselves and others identifying opportunities and achievements
set goals with success criteria for their development and work
review progress acting on the outcomes
invite feedback and deal positively with praise setbacks and criticism
evaluate experiences and learning to inform future progress
communicate their learning in relevant ways for different audiences
Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations
show fairness and consideration to others
take responsibility showing confidence in themselves and their contribution
provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Withdrawal from groups
Learners can be withdrawn from class for a specific learning purpose This is appropriate if the intervention is
carefully targeted
based as much as possible on evidence of lsquowhat worksrsquo
time-limited
evaluated normally by establishing a baseline against the learning intentions and then checking progress at the end of the period
not continued beyond the time limit without a very good reason
Motivation
All learners are motivated by progress Careful discussion on where learners have reached and what they should aim to learn next together with shared understandings about what will count as progress encourage commitment and avoid disaffection The principle is the same for learners at all levels of attainment
Learnersrsquo strengths and interestsLearners their parents and project staff can help identify individual strengths and interests These can give context and relevance to activities Project staff can teach a concept or idea through a curriculum area in which the pupil has had success rather than trying to tackle it through the lsquocorersquo subjects For example if a pupil who enjoys music finds sequencing hard to learn he or she could be given opportunities to practise sequencing in music lessons Methods such as these can help engage learners by making topics relevant and real putting skills into a context which the young person understands and can relate to It is important too that teachers bring their interests to lessons as this demonstrates engagement enthusiasm and motivation for learning
The way a pupil likes to learn
November 2016 Page 18
This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions

Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years
APPENDIX 8The Equalities Act 2010 High quality learning in relation to promoting protected characteristics
Introduction
This document describes the minimum standards and guidance relating to developing a cooperative and non-discriminatory environment which is supportive and challenging and dealing with instances of harassment bullying and discrimination
We believe that all parents staff and children must be equally respected and treated as individuals taking positive account of age gender religion or belief ethnic origin cultural origin sexual and parental preferences disability pregnancy or maternity and marital status We will
November 2016 Page 41
endeavour to apply this principle to all our policies procedures delivery and interactions across the projects
lsquoLeaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity exceptionally well for pupils and staff so that the ethos and culture of the whole school prevents any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour Leaders staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviourrsquo
lsquoTeachers are quick to challenge stereotypes and the use of derogatory language in lessons and around the school Resources and teaching strategies reflect and value the diversity of pupilsrsquo experiences and provide pupils with a comprehensive understanding of people and communities beyond their immediate experiencersquo
lsquoThe schoolrsquos open culture actively promotes all aspects of pupilsrsquo welfare Pupils are safe and feel safe at all times They understand how to keep themselves and others safe in different situations and settings They trust leaders to take rapid and appropriate action to resolve any concerns they haversquo

This is sometimes reduced to the notion of three sensory learning styles ndash auditory kinaesthetic and visual Project staff explore with the learner sensory learning styles and beyond to find ways that suit specific contexts For example if a pupil is particularly comfortable with mind-mapping project staff can build in opportunities for the pupil to use in their lessons In group sessions delivery should always take account of the range of learning styles and offer a variety of activities the pace of the lesson and provide the option for learners to present their work in a variety of formats
Communication and the use of questions
Project staff and other adults need to think tactically about their communication in sessions particularly how they use questioning and encourage dialogue with learners who are experiencing barriers to their learning and participation When working with learners with communication impairments it is important to
prepare questions for them
give them time to respond (at least 7 seconds)
allow them to sometimes discuss possible answers with another learner or adult
give sufficient time for the pupil to understand the task
provide reinforcement to support recall of the task
support the pupil in knowing how to ask for help if something is not clear
offer frequent but honest praise and reinforcement
observe carefully how an individual responds to different ways of praising and reinforcing success (for example not everyone is comfortable with public praise) and use the approach that seems to work best
set high but achievable expectations
Teaching approaches that allow learners to discover that they can do more than they believed they were capable of can be based on
careful assessment of levels of attainment and tracking systems that ensure progress is maintained
November 2016 Page 19
effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Young people
generate ideas and explore possibilities
ask questions to extend their thinking
connect their own and othersrsquo ideas and experiences in inventive ways
question their own and othersrsquo assumptions
try out alternatives or new solutions and follow ideas through
adapt ideas as circumstances change
Reflective learners
Focus Young people evaluate their strengths and limitations setting themselves realistic goals with criteria for success They monitor their own performance and progress inviting feedback from others and making changes to further their learning
Young people

Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands

Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions

enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

effective use of lsquoscaffoldedrsquo support from staff (gradually withdrawing support as a pupil gains knowledge skills and understanding)
assessment for learning approaches that involve learners in judging their own and othersrsquo progress
targeted reinforcement and praise
using the whole group whether in whole-class or small-group learning to draw everyone forward together
Creativity across the curriculumWhen teaching creativity across the curriculum project staff need to plan for a range of experiences that
excite and engage the widest possible range of learners
fit the profile of every pupil whatever his or her strengths interests and levels of attainment
The development of creativity whether through music mathematics PE or any other area of learning and the confidence it brings can feed across the whole curriculum into the commitment and self-belief of the many learners with SEN who lack confidence in their ability to learn things in school Dependence on worksheets and lsquoteacher ledrsquo activities should be avoided The integration of a range of subjects and skill development opportunities in real life topics and projects offers greater opportunity for motivation and engagement For example enterprise activities or cooking provide links to a range of learning opportunities which lead learners to progress through practical application rather than depending on classroom-based abstract theories
The Every Child Matters outcomes and the curriculum
While enjoyment and achievement are clearly outcomes that any school curriculum should aim for all five lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes whilst no longer promoted by the government remain relevant to a well-designed programme for all learners The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes are Stay Safe Be Healthy Enjoy and Achieve Make a Positive Contribution and Achieve Economic Well-being
The lsquoEvery Child Mattersrsquo outcomes contribute to a broadening of the curriculum which gives all learners a chance to show what they are capable of what they know and what they can do The outcomes have practical importance
Education for economic wellbeing is critical given the high levels of unemployment and poverty among LDD school leavers
November 2016 Page 20
Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events
November 2016 Page 24
support conclusions using reasoned arguments and evidence
Creative thinkers
Focus Young people think creatively by generating and exploring ideas making original connections They try different ways to tackle a problem working with others to find imaginative solutions and outcomes that are of value
Young people
generate ideas and explore possibilities
ask questions to extend their thinking
connect their own and othersrsquo ideas and experiences in inventive ways
question their own and othersrsquo assumptions
try out alternatives or new solutions and follow ideas through
adapt ideas as circumstances change
Reflective learners
Focus Young people evaluate their strengths and limitations setting themselves realistic goals with criteria for success They monitor their own performance and progress inviting feedback from others and making changes to further their learning
Young people
assess themselves and others identifying opportunities and achievements
set goals with success criteria for their development and work
review progress acting on the outcomes
invite feedback and deal positively with praise setbacks and criticism
evaluate experiences and learning to inform future progress
communicate their learning in relevant ways for different audiences
Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations
show fairness and consideration to others
take responsibility showing confidence in themselves and their contribution
provide constructive support and feedback to others
Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures

Making a positive contribution to society and the project community is vital for learners who can be discouraged by the barriers to their learning which they face every day
Being healthy covers health wellbeing and e-safety LDD children and young people too often experience teasing and bullying Anti-bullying policies and the lessons that support them can specifically seek to improve the experiences of this group
Removing barriers to learning memory
Project staff can use a range of supportive approaches to develop a pupilrsquos memory They include
checking that any new learning fits into the framework of what the pupil already knows
structuring activities so that the pupil can make use of readily available resources such as word banks word walls displays etchellip
using visual or concrete (lsquorealrsquo) materials or activities involving movement to reinforce learning through a range of sensory channels
ensuring that new knowledge can be tried out in a range of enjoyable applications for example by using computer software
reviewing revisiting and building on prior learning through a spiral curriculum offer
teaching learning techniques ndash for example when approaching exams or tests to provide revision strategies
SequencingProject staff can support learnersrsquo development of sequencing skills by
giving them a visual lsquotimetablersquo perhaps using symbols or photographs
providing lsquomarkersrsquo which learners can use to check that they have completed a part of an activity and can move on to the next element
teaching a lsquoprotocolrsquo to use when a task or sequence of activities has to be changed so that the pupil is not disrupted by the change
CoordinationIf a pupil has coordination impairments it can help to
ensure sufficient time is allowed for them to complete activities
offer different ways of responding to a task eg if writing is a barrier allow verbal response or access to IT and help with handwriting
November 2016 Page 21
remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people

Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions

Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

remember that adding an element of fun within physical activities is an important ingredient Frequent physical activity encourages the exercising of muscles and improves coordination Project staff could discuss with the pupil their parents or carers and with colleagues how to make such activities enjoyable
Visual or auditory modes of learning
Those for whom visual or auditory ways of learning present specific barriers benefit from support that enhances learning through other sensory channels
Straightforward procedures eg checking font size and style for clarity before using them with learners with mild visual impairments can be equally important
Access arrangements in assessment and examinations
The regulatory bodies have clear guidelines on access arrangements such as extra time in assessments and examinations It is important for the wellbeing of learners and staff as well as the manageability and credibility of the assessment that these guidelines are precisely followed
Project staff and other staff also need to ensure that access arrangements of whatever kind are in place well before a test or examination is taken Without practice in lsquoordinaryrsquo lessons an adjustment can be unhelpful It can cause stress and lose learners marks

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve
plan and carry out research appreciating the consequences of decisions
explore issues events or problems from different perspectives
analyse and evaluate information judging its relevance and value
consider the influence of circumstances beliefs and feelings on decisions and events
November 2016 Page 24
support conclusions using reasoned arguments and evidence
Creative thinkers
Focus Young people think creatively by generating and exploring ideas making original connections They try different ways to tackle a problem working with others to find imaginative solutions and outcomes that are of value
Young people
generate ideas and explore possibilities
ask questions to extend their thinking
connect their own and othersrsquo ideas and experiences in inventive ways
question their own and othersrsquo assumptions
try out alternatives or new solutions and follow ideas through
adapt ideas as circumstances change
Reflective learners
Focus Young people evaluate their strengths and limitations setting themselves realistic goals with criteria for success They monitor their own performance and progress inviting feedback from others and making changes to further their learning
Young people
assess themselves and others identifying opportunities and achievements
set goals with success criteria for their development and work
review progress acting on the outcomes
invite feedback and deal positively with praise setbacks and criticism
evaluate experiences and learning to inform future progress
communicate their learning in relevant ways for different audiences
Team workers
November 2016 Page 25
Focus Young people work confidently with others adapting to different contexts and taking responsibility for their own part They listen to and take account of different views They form collaborative relationships resolving issues to reach agreed outcomes
Young people
collaborate with others to work towards common goals
reach agreements managing discussions to achieve results
adapt behaviour to suit different roles and situations

Self-managersFocus Young people organise themselves showing personal responsibility initiative creativity and enterprise with a commitment to learning and self-improvement They actively embrace change responding positively to new priorities coping with challenges and looking for opportunities
Young people
seek out challenges or new responsibilities and show flexibility when priorities change
work towards goals showing initiative commitment and perseverance
organise time and resources prioritising actions
anticipate take and manage risks
deal with competing pressures including personal and work-related demands
respond positively to change seeking advice and support when needed
Effective participators
November 2016 Page 26
Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures

Appendix 3Personal Learning and Thinking Styles
PLTS(Personal Learning Thinking Skills) has been developed to emphasise the importance of acquiring and improving skills that enable young people to cope with social economic and technological change become more effective learners who can continue to learn and enjoy and achieve in all aspects of their life As well as offering benefits for learners in supporting learning and personal development they also represent skills that employers want to see developed For progression purposes it is vital that young people can articulate the skills they possess in applications for jobs or courses and during interviews They must also be able to manage their skill development at work and during further studies
November 2016 Page 23
The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work

and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

The effective development of PLTS is dependent upon opportunities to learn practise and apply skills in different contexts supported by constructive feedback from a range of individuals (this allows for self peer partner and external feedback) Developing and integrating PLTS through principal learning project work and work experience and where appropriate additional and specialist learning makes the skills more meaningful to learners However learners will only understand the importance of these skills and be able to apply them effectively if they are made explicit as part of the teaching and learning process Learners need time for lsquoskills talkrsquo to identify their skills and develop the language to describe them and to recognise the sector relevance and personal relevance of PLTS
Recording can enhance this process by
focusing learnersrsquo attention on skills that are integral to their other learning
assessment
providing a tool for reflection on skills development
providing a snapshot of PLTS achievements at any one time
showing progress in the development of skills over time
informing plans for further skill development and wider application
The recording of PLTS makes an important contribution to the planning learning and review process by helping to bring coherence to learnersrsquo experiences and achievements Recording can also support progression through and beyond the project offering a way of communicating skills to others
Independent enquirers
Focus Young people process and evaluate information in their investigations planning what to do and how to go about it They take informed and well-reasoned decisions recognising that others have different beliefs and attitudes
Young people
identify questions to answer and problems to resolve

Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years
APPENDIX 8The Equalities Act 2010 High quality learning in relation to promoting protected characteristics
Introduction
This document describes the minimum standards and guidance relating to developing a cooperative and non-discriminatory environment which is supportive and challenging and dealing with instances of harassment bullying and discrimination
We believe that all parents staff and children must be equally respected and treated as individuals taking positive account of age gender religion or belief ethnic origin cultural origin sexual and parental preferences disability pregnancy or maternity and marital status We will
November 2016 Page 41
endeavour to apply this principle to all our policies procedures delivery and interactions across the projects
lsquoLeaders promote equality of opportunity and diversity exceptionally well for pupils and staff so that the ethos and culture of the whole school prevents any form of direct or indirect discriminatory behaviour Leaders staff and pupils do not tolerate prejudiced behaviourrsquo
lsquoTeachers are quick to challenge stereotypes and the use of derogatory language in lessons and around the school Resources and teaching strategies reflect and value the diversity of pupilsrsquo experiences and provide pupils with a comprehensive understanding of people and communities beyond their immediate experiencersquo
lsquoThe schoolrsquos open culture actively promotes all aspects of pupilsrsquo welfare Pupils are safe and feel safe at all times They understand how to keep themselves and others safe in different situations and settings They trust leaders to take rapid and appropriate action to resolve any concerns they haversquo
The Common Inspection framework September 2015
Age Gender Sexual Orientation Marital Status
No discrimination will be accepted with regards to the gender of the person or child All children will be encouraged to participate in all activities regardless of gender or age All staff adults and children will have the same opportunities and be treated in the same manner regardless of their gender or age No discrimination will be made with regards to individual sexual preferences and marital status

Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Focus Young people actively engage with issues that affect them and those around them They play a full part in the life of their school college workplace or wider community by taking responsible action to bring improvements for others as well as themselves
Young people
discuss issues of concern seeking resolution where needed
present a persuasive case for action
propose practical ways forward breaking these down into manageable steps
try to influence others negotiating and balancing diverse views to reach workable solutions
act as an advocate for views and beliefs that may differ from their own
Appendix 4
Social and Emotional Skills
Provide extensive opportunities for social and emotional skills to be both lsquocaughtrsquo and lsquotaughtrsquo not only in formal lessons but in the way that staff respond to incidents that occur extra-curricular activities and in the way that staff model the behaviour and skills that include wishes to promote Approaches that teach social and emotional skills are enhanced when learners have the chance to put newly acquired skills into practice outside the session for example through learner participation activities The following are suggestions for ways in which the skills within the five social and emotional aspects of learning might be developed across the whole project
Examples of how to help develop self-awareness
Ensure all learners can achieve and experience success
Help learners identify their own learning style (eg visual auditory kinaesthetic)
Use a range of methods and approaches to ensure that all learning styles are catered for
Give careful and sensitive feedback to learners about what is going well and how to improve areas of weakness
November 2016 Page 27
Ensure every learner feels known valued consulted and listened to and is not just part of a group
Value the experience learners bring from home and from their own culture
Help learners make sense of their life story (especially important for those whose lives have been fragmented and chaotic) for example through work in language citizenship and history
Examples of how to help learners manage their feelings
Allow consideration of how people feel as well as what they think to be part of everyday discussions in the school and session
Encourage learners to experience identify and express their emotions and develop a rich emotional vocabulary through talking writing and movement
Use everyday incidents (eg conflict between learners) to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they manage to resist unhelpful impulses and talk through alternative responses
Teach learners calming techniques for example counting to ten before reacting steady breathing relaxation positive self-talk
Model calm responses to challenge and difficulty
Examples of how to help develop motivation
Have positive and high expectations of every learner
Encourage an attitude of lsquoOK letrsquos start againrsquo rather than dismissing a learnerrsquos potential to learn or behave differently next time
Attempt to ensure experience of success and mastery for each learner ndash set realistic short-term targets and give support to achieve them
Use positive and consistent reward systems
Help learners believe that lsquopeople like mersquo succeed and find positive role models
Use everyday incidents to coach learners in their responses for example notice and reward when they show resilience talk through alternative responses to difficult situations
Encourage creative problem solving generating a range of responses to problems rather than looking for single answers
Use formative feedback that is non-judgemental and provides clear suggestions for improvement
Examples of how to help develop empathyNovember 2016 Page 28
Use storytelling (literature film) to see the world from another point of view
Use everyday incidents to teach skills of conflict resolution and encourage young people to articulate what the problem looks like to another person
Demonstrate and model empathy for example really listen to what the learners are saying show respect and do not be quick to judge
Use disciplinary systems that encourage exploration of how people felt and what was in their minds at the time discussion listening to another point of view resolution repairing relationships and moving forward together
Promote the school values and ethos of tolerance and celebration of diversity
Examples of how to help develop social skills
Encourage teamwork cooperative learning and group projects as well as individual work
Provide opportunities for peer mediation and conflict resolution
Encourage active problem solving and independent thinking rather than rote learning
Model social skills for example active listening friendliness interest in others
Use everyday incidents to coach in conflict resolution and search for lsquowinndashwinrsquo solutions
Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings

Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Appendix 5
Teaching and Learning Policy
1 Introduction11 At include we believe in the concept of lifelong learning and in the idea that both adults
and young people learn new things every day We maintain that learning should be a rewarding and enjoyable experience for everyone in short it should be fun Through our teaching we equip young people with the skills knowledge and understanding necessary to be able to make informed choices about the important things in their lives We believe that appropriate teaching and learning experiences help young people to lead happy and rewarding lives
2 Aims and objectives21 We believe that people learn best in different ways At our schools and projects we provide
a rich and varied learning environment that allows all young people to develop their skills and abilities to their full potential
22 Through our teaching we aim to
November 2016 Page 29
enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities

it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

enable young people to become confident resourceful enquiring and independent learners
foster young peoples self-esteem and help them to build positive relationships with other people
develop young peoples self-respect encourage them to understand the ideas attitudes and values of others and teach them to respect other peoples feelings
show respect for a diverse range of cultures and in so doing promote positive attitudes towards other people
enable young people to understand their community and help them feel valued as part of it
help young people grow into reliable independent and positive citizens
enable young people to make good progress and achieve
3 Effective learning31 Research tells us that people learn in many different ways and respond best to different
types of input (visual auditory and kinaesthetic) we must therefore deliver teaching in different ways to address the needs of all our learners We take into account the different forms of intelligence (eg mathematicallogical visualspatial interpersonal and musical) when planning our teaching
32 We ensure the best possible environment for learning by developing a positive atmosphere in which pupils feel safe and feel they belong in which they enjoy being challenged but in which they enjoy learning and know that they will succeed (because they know the challenge will have been set at the right level) We may therefore play music to accompany learning provide brain breaks at various points in the lesson to refocus young peoples attention and make sure that the young people have access to drinking water
33 All teaching will be structured to maximise learning opportunities and lessons will be planned in accordance with the following principles
the teaching should build on previous learning
all sessions will be pre-planned as part of a scheme of work using include lesson plan templates
it should give pupils the big picture of the session
the teacher should explain the learning outcomes and why the session is important
the session should be presented in a range of styles
it should allow opportunities for the pupils to build up their own understanding through various activities
November 2016 Page 30
it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

it should be differentiated to meet individual needs
it should allow opportunities for the young people to review what has been learnt
it should have built-in opportunities for feedback to the young people celebrating success and reviewing learning strategies
the teaching should indicate what success looks like and what the next step in the learning will be
34 We offer opportunities for young people to learn in different ways These include
investigation and problem-solving
research and discovery
group work
pair work
independent work
whole-class work
asking and answering questions
use of ICT
fieldwork and visits to places of educational interest
creative activities
watching television and responding to musical or recorded material
debates role-plays and oral presentations
designing and making things
participation in athletic or physical activity
35 We encourage young people to take responsibility for their own learning to be involved as far as possible in reviewing the way in which they learn and to reflect on how they learn ndash what helps them learn and what makes it difficult for them to learn
4 Effective teaching and learning41 When we are teaching we focus on motivating all the young people and building on their
skills knowledge and understanding of the curriculum so that they reach the highest level
November 2016 Page 31
of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary

WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

of personal achievement We use the include and school curriculum framework to guide our teaching This sets out the aims objectives and values of the school and details what is to be taught to each year group
421 Teachers make ongoing assessments of each young persons progress and they use this information when planning their lessons It enables them to take into account the abilities of all their young people Our prime focus is to develop further the knowledge confidence and skills of all our young people
422 We strive to ensure that all tasks set are appropriate to each young persons level of ability When planning work for young people we give due regard to information and targets contained in the young peoples Individual Education Plans (IEPs) and statements or Education Healthcare Plans Teachers modify teaching and learning as appropriate for young people with special needs We value each young person as a unique individual and teachers are familiar with the relevant equal opportunities legislation covering race gender and disability
423 We will strive to meet the needs of all our young people and to ensure that we meet all statutory requirements related to matters of inclusion
43 We set academic targets for the young people in each year and we share these targets with young people and their parentscarers We review the progress of each young person at the end of the academic term and set revised targets half-termly
44 We plan our sessions with clear learning objective and outcomes Our session plans contain information about the tasks to be set how tasks will be differentiated the resources needed and the way in which we assess the young peoples work We evaluate all lessons so that we can modify and improve our future teaching
45 Each of our teachersdelivery staff makes a special effort to establish good working relationships with all the young people in the class We treat the young people with kindness and respect We recognise that they are all individuals with different needs but we treat them fairly and give them equal opportunity to take part in class activities All of our teachers follow include policies and procedures with regard to behaviour We set and agree with young people the class code of conduct and we expect all young people to comply with the rules that we jointly devise to promote the best learning opportunities for all We praise young people for their efforts and by so doing we help to build positive attitudes towards school and learning in general We insist on good order and behaviour at all times When young people misbehave we follow the guidelines for sanctions as outlined in our policy on behaviour
46 We try to ensure that all tasks and activities that the young people perform are safe When we plan to take young people out of school we follow a strict set of procedures to ensure safety the venue is visited risk assessments are completed and various permissions are obtained We inform parents or carers and obtain their permission before the visit takes place
47 We deploy Support Workers and other adult helpers as effectively as possible Sometimes they work with individual young people and sometimes they work with small groups Our Support Workers also assist with the preparation and storage of classroom equipment
November 2016 Page 32
48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary
Appendix 6
WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

48 Our classrooms are attractive learning environments We change displays at least once a term so that the classroom reflects the topics studied by the young people We ensure that all young people have the opportunity to display their best work at some time during the year All classrooms have a range of dictionaries as well as displays relating to literacy and numeracy We also use displays as learning prompts for the young people We believe that a stimulating environment sets the climate for learning and that an exciting classroom promotes independent use of resources which results in high-quality work by the young people
49 All of our staff reflect on their strengths and weaknesses and plan their professional development accordingly We do all we can to support our staff in developing their skills so that they can continually improve their practice
410 We conduct all our teaching in an atmosphere of trust and respect for all
411 Through our teaching we support children to distinguish right from wrong and to respect the civil and criminal law This includes encouraging pupils to accept responsibility for their behaviour show initiative and understand how they can contribute positively to the lives of those living and working in their locality and to society more widely
412 By following an annual calendar of culture we assist pupils to acquire an appreciation of and respect for their own and other cultures in a way that promotes tolerance and harmony between different cultural traditions We encourage pupils to respect the fundamental British values of democracy the rule of law individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs
413 Partisan political views will not be promoted in the teaching of any subject in the school Where political issues are raised with pupils staff must offer a balanced presentation of opposing views to pupils This relates to provision while in attendance at the school while taking part in extra-curricular activities which we provide or organise and in the promotion at the school (including through the distribution of promotional material) of extra-curricular activities
The role of parents and carers51 We believe that parents and carers have a fundamental role to play in helping young
people to learn We do all we can to inform parents and carers about what and how their children are learning
by meeting parents and carers at the start of the young persons attendance at the school to explain what and how the young person will be taught
by sending parents and carers regular reports in which we explain the progress made by each young person and indicate how the young person can improve further
by explaining to parents and carers how they can support their child with their learning and suggesting for example regular shared reading with very young children and support for older children with their projects
November 2016 Page 33
62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary
Appendix 6
WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings
1048707 within the staff team
1048707 with young people
1048707 and with parents and carers
Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

62 We believe that parents and carers have the responsibility to support their children and the school in implementing school policies We would therefore like parents and carers
to ensure that their child has the best attendance record possible
to ensure that their child is equipped for school
to do their best to keep their child healthy and fit to attend school
to inform school if there are matters outside of school that are likely to affect a young persons performance or behaviour
to promote a positive attitude towards school and learning in general
to fulfil the requirements set out in the include contract
7 Monitoring and review71 We are aware of the need to monitor the schools teaching and learning policy and to
review it regularly so that we can take account of new initiatives and research changes in the curriculum developments in technology or changes to the physical environment of the school We will therefore review this policy annually or earlier if necessary
Appendix 6
WP 28 include Framework for Assessing Learner Progress (to be adapted locally)
Introduction
The core function of (please insert school name) include is to facilitate appropriate post-16 progression to further education or training and this is achieved by addressing the academic and personal development needs of each young person This document outlines the procedures used to track individual and group pupil progress at xx include
Aims and Ethos
November 2016 Page 34
The systems described within this document are used to
1048707 Provide a lsquosnapshotrsquo of a young personrsquos position with regards to their academic and personal development
1048707 Track the progress of individual young people
1048707 Provide a summary of the progress of individual young people
1048707 Identify underperforming groups of young people
1048707 Summarise the value that include has added to individual pupils and groups of young people
Accurate information systems are essential tools in the mission to ensure all pupils achieve their academic potential However data is only effective where it is used to
1048707 Inform the development of schemes of work personalised programmes and extra
curricular activities
1048707 Mark and reward success
1048707 Develop interventions to address individual needs
At include pupil data will be constantly collected processed interrogated and used within discussions and planning meetings

Basic amp Keys Skills Builder
The ForSkills tests
bull Are fully interactive and self-marking
November 2016 Page 35
bull Consist of one assessment suitable for all learners from key stage 3
bull Are referenced to the Core Curriculum for both literacy and numeracy
bull Track the functional skills standards in English and mathematics and ICT
bull Give a clear indication of current English mathematics and ICT levels from pre-entry to level 3
bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

bull Signpost subsequent in-depth diagnostic assessments to be taken
These tests are used as a baseline for all students on entry to xxx include This gives us a base to work from that is realistic based on their ability at the time rather than an out of date result from a previous establishment
We use an equivalence matrix to provide baseline national curriculum levels and GCSE fine grades as shown below
Teacher Assessments
Students in KS3 will be assessed using the IDEAS+ and LORIC Framework
(If centres use WRAT4 or Boxalls these need to be added)
Target levels Every student has a target level for each subject This is the level we think they should aim to at least meet At least we expect them to aim for two sub levels progress each year Information regarding prior levels of attainment should be provided by feeder schools but if this is not available progress will be measured by end of topic and end of year assessments
Behaviour Support Plans
November 2016 Page 36
Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed

WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups
1048707 targets for the new academic year
The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years

Studentsrsquo observable behaviour is assessed using a Behaviour Support Plan (BSP) A lsquopre-assessmentrsquo is undertaken if possible by the previous schoolhome tutor or in the case of someone who has not been at school for some time the Project Manager will complete this after approximately three weeks Thereafter a BSP is completed every half term by the tutor or project manager Each BSP follows on from the previous which means it is possible to see both positive and negative progress made by the student in terms of their behaviour over time As behaviours are rated numerically from it is easy to track progress
These are shared with the student and their parentcarer at termly Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
Finally all the information we have about a student is brought together in their Individual Education Plans which are also updated half-termly by the teachers SMART targets are set using BKSB assessments statements or Education Healthcare Plans subject national curriculum assessments general observations or vocational targets from their NCFE award
The project manager then arranges to meet with the parentscarers and the student and ensures the IEP is appropriate targets are SMART and actions agreed
Appendix 7
WP 29 Target Setting Policy
November 2016 Page 37
include offers a stable environment in which vulnerable young people can work towards academic progression and achieving a fulfilling place in society whilst becoming more emotionally and socially independent
Introduction
Purposes
Whenever possible the collection of data and setting of targets will be employed for diagnostic and planning purposes primarily to help the learning of young people This is achieved through
1048707 The promotion of school improvement searching for success underachievement and anomalies within the performance of individual learners groups and subject areas Evaluating the overall effectiveness of the provision
1048707 The promotion of individual pupil development and progression (both academic and socialemotional) measures are used to set targets and identify and monitor the effectiveness of strategies to support and challenge learners
Principles
At include the processes relating to target setting are conducted in accordance with the following principles
1048707 lsquosensiblersquo measures will be used and lsquocommon sensersquo comparisons made For example include will not seek to make year on year comparisons of pupil attainment due to the small number of young people in each cohort and the distorting affect of one or two young
people who are high achievers or have special educational needs include will also not attempt to make detailed comparisons between the performance of pupils belonging to different ethnic groups within a year as numbers are not sufficient to produce measures that would be statistically significantNovember 2016 Page 38
1048707 processes and procedures will not be over bureaucratic and will have consideration of staff wellbeing
1048707 include believes that peer and self assessment by pupils is an important part of formative assessment and will seek to encourage the development of independent learners with its use
Target Setting Mechanisms at xx include (to be adapted locally)
Pupil Baselines
Xx include typically works with young people from a variety of mainstream schools within and outside of the county and pupils who have on average been out of school for about a year In order to accurately evaluate the improvement of all learners include assesses young people on entry and arrives at the following baseline measures
1048707 Reading writing and comprehension skills
1048707 Numeracy skills
1048707 National Curriculum Levels in English and Maths
1048707 Behaviour Profile analysis including aspects of self-control and management of
behaviour social skills self-awareness and confidence skills for learning and
approach to learning
include will seek to track performance within most of these areas throughout the young personrsquos stay
Tracking Pupil Progress
include records pupil progress on a termly basis Data is collected updated by the delivery staff Termly reports are produced and the information collected in the APR paperwork End of year reports provide summative information and can be retrieved as required
November 2016 Page 39
In addition all teachers are expected to maintain records to track individual achievement this may be in the form of Assessing Pupil Progress (APP) ndash type record sheets
Within Lessons
include recognises the need to plan for the different types of learning outcomes and target setting within individual lessons Lesson aims and objectives are communicated to and explained to learners in a way that will enable them to make a self assessment with respect to particular curricular targets at the end of the lesson Within most lessons teachers will aim to provide pupils with a structure for assessing where they are where they need to be and what they need to do to get there
Individual Education Plans (IEPs)
All young people attending include have IEPs that are reviewed half termly with their tutor These are informed by the most recent academic report the Behaviour
Profile and attendance report Parentscarers are encouraged to attend a termly
review meeting and young people are encouraged to play an active part within
the process
Annual School Performance Reports
At the end of each academic year the Project Manager with their subject leaders analyse performance within their subjects during the previous year This will take into account
1048707 types of activities in which learners engaged
1048707 identified barriers to learning
1048707 cross-curricular skills development
November 2016 Page 40
1048707 baseline test results
1048707 CPD activities in which the teachers engaged
1048707 the attendance and performance of teaching groups

The latter is used to produce an Improvement Plan for the new academic year The Operations Manager meets with staff to discuss annual progress and identify key issues to address within planning for school improvement These are also discussed during each subject leaderrsquos performance review
Overall Analysis of xxx includersquos Performance
Xxx include uses key data relating to School Improvement Plan objectives to evaluate its overall effectiveness All measures relate to pupil performance Targets are set for each performance indicator These are monitored by the Head teacher and the Senior Leadership Team The format of this report varies according to the objectives outlined for each particular academic year Many of these targets will be measured against performance in previous years
