School have recently admitted this CIC and haven’t as much paperwork as would usually be requested.
Pupil circumstances have changed significantly or escalated recently (e.g. where the primary need is SEMH/where the medical need may change)
Panel suggests that for future applications you consider further evidence of:
Parental engagement/involvement
Pupil/student voice
How pupil premium is being spent on different or proportional costs of provisions
Specific strategies referenced in Individual Provision Map
Use of a range of diagnostic/standardised assessments alongside school based assessments to demonstrate progress
The impact of each provision on the Top Up Application front sheet rather than signposting to subsequent documents. This will ensure greater clarity.
Advice from outside agencies/trained adults/mentors is clearly shown in all paperwork (IPM, AR, Top Up front sheet)
