  School Achievement & Standards Report 2023-24

  

  Report of the Chief Executive Officer, Camden Learning.

   

  This report provides the committee with an overview and analysis of Camden school performance. It contains an analysis of overall published school outcomes from the academic year 2023-24 in Early Years, the Year 1 Phonics check, Key Stage (KS) 2, KS4 and KS5 alongside other key performance indicators including Ofsted inspection outcomes, attendance, and suspensions data. Three-year trends alongside ranking against local and national averages are given where known. Due to the impact of the pandemic on assessment, the three-year trends cover 2019, 2023 and 2024, so they are more comparable. In 2023 Ofqual confirmed a return to pre-pandemic grading with an allowance for disruption so that overall results would be similar to those of 2019. There are no KS1 to KS2 progress scores this year or next due to the cancellation of statutory testing in 2020. KS1 assessments are no longer statutory so not represented in this report. Data at Key Stage 4 and 5 is still provisional, and final data will not be available until late February 2025 however significant changes are not anticipated.

  Camden’s Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Strategy Year 2 Progress Report

  

  Report of the Director of Education Commissioning and Inclusion.

   

  Camden’s Local Area SEND Strategy was published in November 2022. As part of the delivery of this strategy we publish annual progress reports outlining the work that we have done to deliver the commitments in the strategy. The attached report provides detail of the work that has taken place during 2024.

   

  During the last year, we have made significant progress in the delivery of the ambitions of the strategy, including increased investment in a number of areas. This is the second year of delivery of our five-year strategy and the scale of the ambition of the reform we are undertaking means that there is still considerable work to do. We will also be publishing our implementation plan setting out planned activity up to 2027, the end of the strategy period.

  Cabinet Member for Best Start for Children and Families' response on the investigation into the effectiveness of children SEND provision in Camden

  

  Report of the Cabinet Member for Best Start for Children and Families.

   

  In October 2024, the Children, Schools and Families Scrutiny Committee was presented with the final report of the SEND Provision Scrutiny Panel, which, which investigated the effectiveness of provision for meeting the needs of children and young people with SEND in Camden. The Scrutiny Panel was made up of elected members and co-opted members from the Committee. The Committee requested that the Cabinet Member for Best Start for Children and Families prepare a response to the Scrutiny Panel’s recommendations from the investigation and to report back to the Committee.

   

  The findings of this investigation revealed that there were areas where provision was not meeting families’ needs and expectations. They found that many of the issues faced locally are national and driven by insufficient resource and increases in demand and need. The report recognised that Camden has worked creatively within its budget but that there is still work to be done to improve local provision. The report made recommendations to improve practice on a local level as well as recommendations for changes that are needed national. This report contains the Cabinet Member for Best Start for Children and Families’ response to these recommendations.

   

  The Scrutiny Panel’s investigation was gratefully received. Officers have been drawing on the evidence in the report to shape our local area partnership SEND strategy implementation plan and our priorities. The majority of the recommendations are agreed upon and included in our work plans.
