John Henry Newman Catholic College (JHNCC)

Individual Provision Plan (IPP)

JHNCC requests information from primary school about all pupils who are going to join them in the summer term. This request takes place once places have been allocated in the January prior.

JHNCC then assess which pupils will need action plans or IPPs. The Primary school sends their observations to JHNCC for assessment and then the SEN Co-ordinator arranges an initial meeting with the Primary school SEN to go through their IEP and other strategies they are using prior to meeting the pupil. The SEN Representative from JHNCC meets the pupil and observes them in their existing setting.

Six weeks prior to term ending at primary school, the pupil comes to JHNCC once a week for induction and transition. During this time they are assessed in JHNCC’s Rainbow Centre and sit an Access Reading Test (ART) to ascertain their current reading age.

All teachers at the school are emailed before term starts with the SEN provision list of all pupils joining in Year 7 and the updated provision list for existing pupils.

When a new pupil with additional learning needs joins the school in September, an updated IPP is created and emailed to every teacher and learning mentor in the school which ensures everyone is updated and informed. The provision list allows the teacher to have a comprehensive appreciation of the specific needs of the learner, giving them time to provide the necessary learning resources for them to access lessons.

JHNCC uses a wide variety of productive/effective strategies to ensure pupils are included in lessons. To ensure these strategies are working and are productive, the pupil and teaching is evaluated regularly. The teachers have an observation checklist they fill out each lesson, this covers all elements of the school day from punctuality and attendance to remaining focused and staying in the classroom. The IPP sets out teaching strategies for the teacher and also list pupil preferences. In some subjects another adult is assigned to the pupil to give extra support and guidance.

Targets are given to the pupil and are regularly reviewed to see if they are being achieved. If they are being achieved new targets are set. If they are not, then the targets are redressed. These targets are not just soft targets, for example, ‘becoming a more independent learner’; they are also to ensure the pupil is achieving their minimum expected level of progress (MELP).

The pupil chosen for this study has been on an IPP since joining JHNCC in 2012. She is diagnosed with Asperger’s, has a five second memory delay and also shows signs of dyscalculia. The IPP has been created to ensure this pupil is included in all aspects of JHNCC’s community life. Although she does not have a

full statement, she is allocated a learning mentor to assist with mathematics, as this is a particular are she struggles with due to her dyscalculia.

All observations include a discussion of the lesson plan with the mentor, observer and teacher prior to the observation. Lack of progress and behaviour issues is discussed fully and strategies are recommended before the lesson starts.

If this pupil still becomes anxious within a lesson, then she is given a time-out card, which allows her to leave the classroom for five minutes to clear her head and calm down. She is also offered time out sessions, break sessions and lunchtime sessions in the Rainbow centre, with other children with similar additional learning needs.

Regular meetings, learning conversations and observations take place to ensure the IPP is being followed. Letters and questionnaires are sent home, the school uses Pupil Voice to ensure the pupil has full input into their learning needs and regular observations take place in all lessons.

The appendices following show the IPP and other supporting documentation.
