However, the nature of our SEN students’ disabilities mean that high attendance levels (94%) for some students may not be a possible target, and each student is assessed and supported individually according to their specific (sometimes medical) needs. This support is with parents and outside professionals supporting the school’s work. Curriculum: * ‘pathways’ for SEN students have been created for Year 9, Year 10 and Year 11: the options of Curriculum Support, and ASDAN. There is additionally BTEC Work Skills. These groups feature small group teaching, allowing for some one-to-one provision, to meet students’ individual learning needs. In Curriculum Support, working with curriculum specialists and students’ mainstream teachers, there is over-learning of core subjects (English, Maths and Science), homework completion, nurture and life-skills, tailored to specific students’ needs, and in preparation for post-16 college provision; ASDAN as a vocational skills based course, equips students for skills in learning required for post-16 placement; * for a very small number of students from September 2018, English and RE teaching has taken place in SEN out from mainstream lessons, to allow for greater differentiation (with RE taught within the ASDAN syllabus); * development of ASDAN short course qualifications for students in the 7* and 8* groups; * Functional Skills to be taught in SEN in English and Maths, to be developed in 2020-2021; * RAW, Meadowbrook College and the City of Oxford College provision for one day a week vocational courses for a very small number of students; * the intention of a Y11 extended work placement for a very small number of students has been compromised by the effects of the Covid pandemic. It is hoped to be able to review this as soon as local conditions permit. Literacy interventions: SEND and non-SEND students have benefited from various literacy interventions from the literacy team; some students received longer interventions, over two long terms. These details are contained in the separate English Faculty Report. SEN students' progress: * details and analysis contained in the exams’ results provided for Governors. However, a clear focus is on identifying and managing the provision for under-performing cohorts, as jointly identified in on-going processes by SEN and pastoral and curriculum leaders. 3 * the below table shows that across the school, a proportion of students at School Support and EHCP are making progress. SEND students can learn at a slower rate, and their medical, and social conditions / family circumstances, can prevent consistent school attendance. 2019 SEND GCSE results analysis and actions 2017-18 outcomes 2018-19 outcomes No. of 2019-2020 outcomes SEND No. of Change in SEND SEND P8 Subject students non- SEND non- 2018-19 students 2018-19 - SEND SEND SEND SEND non- SEND SEND differ- SEND 2019-20 2019-20 P8 P8 difference P8 SEND difference P8 ence P8 P8 Art 0.60 0.55 0.05 0.08 1.18 -1.10 12 2.21 1.85 +0.36 +2.13 Biology 0.25 0.61 -0.36 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.54 +0.87 +0.87 Business Studies -2.31 -0.97 -1.34 -0.54 0.65 -1.19 12 Chemistry 0.25 0.68 -0.43 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.36 +1.05 +0.91 Computing no entries 0.04 0.48 -0.44 9 1.37 0.3 +1.07 +1.33 Product 7 -0.24 0.17 -0.41 Design DT -1.75 -1.20 -0.55 -0.43 -0.25 -0.18 -0.19 Food Tech -0.37 -0.27 -0.10 DT 0.05 0.38 -0.33 Textiles DT -0.90 -0.24 -0.66 -0.38 0.95 -1.33 2 Combined Science -0.06 -0.88 0.82 -0.46 -0.05 -0.41 46 Drama -1.29 0.37 -1.66 0.25 0.53 -0.28 8 -0.37 0.42 -0.79 -0.62 English Language -0.58 -0.11 -0.47 -0.21 0.54 -0.75 61 0.27 0.34 -0.07 +0.48 English Literature -0.60 -0.14 -0.46 -0.21 0.52 -0.73 61 0.16 0.1 -0.06 +0.37 French -0.78 -0.67 -0.11 0.05 1.06 -1.01 11 0.06 0.31 -0.25 +0.01 Geography -0.51 -0.39 -0.12 -0.01 0.57 -0.58 17 0.87 0.68 +0.19 +0.88 German 0.42 -0.61 1.03 0.27 0.00 0.27 3 0.26 0.59 -0.33 -0.01 History -1.23 -0.38 -0.85 0.19 0.55 -0.36 32 0.68 0.4 +0.28 +0.49 Maths -0.48 0.38 -0.86 -0.21 0.54 -0.75 61 0.43 0.65 -0.22 +0.64 Physics 0.57 0.37 0.20 0.54 0.88 -0.34 15 1.41 0.44 +0.97 +0.87 Spanish -1.53 -0.91 -0.62 0.22 0.59 -0.37 13 1.33 0 +1.33 +1.11 Music 2.09 -0.03 +2.12 Religious -0.35 0.22 +0.57 Education Double 0.76 0.45 +0.31 Science Double 0.32 0.17 +0.15 Science (1) Music Tech 0.35 0.78 -0.43 Sport BTEC 0.41 1.24 -0.17 4 (red = P8<-0.50) Underperformance of SEND students is a historic problem across the UK, and at Cheney. In 2018 the P8 score for Cheney students with an EHCP was -1.09 and the P8 score for SEN Support was -0.42. These figures do not particularly change year on year. In 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 our outcomes are considerably better than the national picture.
