Ofsted's new 'So what' approach has resulted in deep dives into alternative education. Having been involved in many Ofsted inspections now, we are more than confident that our curriculum, care, policies and procedures are perfectly suited for these dives. The main talking points from these deep dives has been the relationship between the alternative education centre and the school. To help this, we stay in regular contact, create and share student termly target sheets, termly summary forms, safeguarding paperwork and attend any meetings such as annual reviews that we can help with. Students goals are designed by our SEMH specialist qualified teachers, all targets and goals are drawn from existing EHCPs or any other relevant paperwork along with information gathered from any other agencies or specialists involved. All this shows that even if the student is on a part time timetable with the school, we all have the best interests of the student in mind and are working together constantly to achieve tangible goals and reach targets.
