1. Provision Mapping to Support School Improvement Advisers Learning Support Learning and Improvement Service September 2011

2. Aims of the Session To understand the rationale behind the provision mapping process. To understand how to create provision maps and follow their application in schools.

3. Provision Mapping Effective provision mapping is an ongoing process enabling schools or settings to identify and meet the needs of pupils. It is a process that supports raising standards and achievements. It is a strategic management tool.

4. Why Provision Mapping? Allows us to audit the needs of children and plan systematically how best to use the school’s resources to meet those needs. Allows us to plan staff and skills required to meet pupil needs. Can help prevent over- provision for some and under-provision for others.

5. Why Provision Mapping? Audits how well provision matches need Highlights repetitive or ineffective provision - informing change Assesses school effectiveness when linked to outcomes for pupils Plans development to meet identified pupil need

6. Why Provision Mapping? Reports annually on the success of the SEN policy Demonstrates accountability Informs parents, LA, Ofsted and other outside agencies how resources are used to meet needs Focuses attention on whole school issues of teaching and learning rather than on individual child issues Records changes in provision
