Posted on SEN board but it's quite over there
Had ds AR two weeks ago. We was told all year what a good year ds had had. The last AR had been horrendous due to a alfwul year. Ds has ASD and all the fun that comes with that.
The AR report was a week late to be distributed ( ie not within the two weeks legal deadline of the meeting).
It was very negative, said ds was aggressive, violent and had made no progress at all against of of his outcomes. None
I was really shocked because we had a great year, great behaviour logs, great parents evenings. Definitely no aggression or violence in behaviour log.
I quired why the reports was so at odds with everything I was told all year. I asked two school teachers, the senco and another SMT. No one could or would clarify how things were at odds.
We went to the AR a week after expressing our concern about the report and was told in the meeting the report was wrong. This is the first I knew of this.
In the meeting it was discovered more was wrong with the report as I was still querying it with the senco. Senco was denying it until the teacher said "I didn't write that!" Then only admitted the mistake when backed into cornor by overwhelming evidence of another mistake.
We walked out the meeting and a hour later got sent a new AR document. But with the same mistake in it. The senco apologised but said there was nothing they could do. It was partly written by a teacher who left in July 24 and that teacher had written ds progress for March 2025 in advance!
I looked harder at the report. I t has 6 outcomes on page 1 that the overall the years progress was marked against.
However the past years has been marked against five completely different outcomes that are totally different.
Last term only three outcomes had progress marked against them. The third target is completely missing ( no row in the report table)
Summer term completely missing
Spring 24 term.only had two outcomes for progress and both are recorded as progress made in March 2025. The third target again completely missing as was the fifth ( ie no row for them in the report table)
School keep on saying they don't understand what I'm talking about. Ds had been advised to go a sen School on the this utterly wrong report.
How do you mark progress against outcomes for another criteria that you recorded less than 50% of?
