Written in partnership with Natalie Packer, renowned SEND Consultant and author.
Our Specialist Provision Evaluation is designed to support leaders to review the quality of specialist provision within mainstream schools, and can be used for SEN units, Resourced Provisions or internal specialist provisions.
Our Specialist Provision Evaluation allows you to identify strengths and areas for development. It examines:
- Leadership and Management
- Environment
- Knowledge of pupils, assessments and outcomes
- Curriculum, teaching and learning
- Wider provision and partnerships
Testimonials
The specialist provision evaluation focuses on the essential key elements of effective specialist provision including leadership, environment, assessment, curriculum, teaching and learning, and partnerships. Trialled and tested in a number of primary and secondary provisions, this evaluation will enable leaders to evidence good practice and support identification of next steps towards embedding high quality specialist provision within their mainstream school.

Bedford Borough Council has rolled out the EvaluateMySchool SEND evaluation to all of our 70 schools. After trialling EMS through our partnership with Whole Education we were keen to use it to holistically evaluate our SEND provision. EMS is simple to use, and the evaluation enables us to create conversations with staff about SEND provision in our schools and across our local authority.

EvaluateMySchool has been pivotal at identifying patterns and trends in SEND practice, and recognising where our strengths and areas for development are, which has then fed directly into my SEND strategy. The platform allows easy reporting, recording of conversations, assigning of actions and also the ability to upload evidence. The visual graphics allow quick snapshots into progress made at academy and MAT level, as well as identified groups of schools by phase.

What I like most about EMS, apart from the ability to personalise the measures, is that it allows me to influence change by providing the resources to analyse evaluation results (comparing them to other schools if I was part of a group), track and annotate progress, and to actively plan improvements – all within the evaluation! This is so much more than an evaluation!

Gary Aubin, SEND Consultant – Whole EducationEvaluate My School provides a common language for schools to think about SEND. It has helped many SENDCOs I know, to keep themselves strategic in what can be a very operational role. It helps leaders, who might not feel confident in relation to SEND leadership, to understand the part they can play in developing provision for pupils with SEND.
I highly recommend EvaluateMySchool. We used the tools to help evaluate and prepare next steps for strategic development ahead of our Ofsted inspection. Evidence of leadership and improvement all in one online space!.
