What is School Action?
Your child would usually start receiving help on School Action if there are concerns that they are making little or no progress, even when the teacher has adapted their teaching methods and materials to suit the child's style and rate of learning.
On School Action, your child will receive more help, or a different kind of help according to their needs and depending on the support available in the school. Help could include individual or small group support from the class teacher and/ or teaching assistant, special equipment, or a particular teaching programme.
Your child may need additional support with reading, writing, maths or other academic subjects, may have sensory or physical needs, or difficulties in other areas of learning, such as emotion and behaviour, sensory/physical needs and communication and interaction.
The Individual Education Plan (IEP)
Your child's progress should be recorded in an Individual Education Plan (IEP). This is a document which lists three or four short term targets, the help which will be given to achieve these and how success will be measured. The IEP must be reviewed at least every 6 months and should be reviewed once a term. You and your child if possible, should be involved in this review and in setting new targets. The school does not have to use IEP's, but they must have something similar in place. Some schools use other systems such as "provision mapping" to monitor pupils' progress.
What is School Action Plus?
If your child needs more help than they can receive on School Action, the school may increase the level of support and call in professionals from outside the school, such as an educational psychologist, specialist teacher, or speech and language therapist. These professionals may observe your child in the classroom, do some tests with your child if appropriate, and talk to teachers and to yourself to build up a complete picture
