  • Education for All information for Year 6 Families

    Published 21/04/23
    A message to all year 6 students from Sheffield City Council Education for All.
     
    Mainstream Advice & Phase Transfer drop-in support sessions
     
    We know that transition to a new school can be an uncertain time for children and young people and their families. It can also be a time of excitement and opportunity for the next stages of education. We know it can be disappointing for families when they don’t get their first choice of school. It’s really important to make this as positive as possible for every child and young person.
    Most children with SEND who have an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) go to a mainstream school or setting. There are social, emotional and academic benefits for children who remain with their school friends and maintain their community links.
     
    The Sheffield SEND Services have put together a helpful document. It gives information and advice on how mainstream education supports those with SEND. We encourage you to read this. Contact details are on the document should you want to get in touch with any questions.
     
    The service are also offering Phase Transfer drop-in support sessions for families. These will be on Microsoft Teams:

    Please see Education for all Sheffield for more information.

  • Ofsted updates following visit on the 2nd and 3rd of March 2023

    Published 18/04/23

    I’m pleased to share with you the results of the OFSTED monitoring visit which took place on the 2nd and 3rd of March 2023. This was the first visit following our Special Measures judgement last summer, and there were two possible outcomes from this visit either we were or were not making progress towards the removal of special measures. I’m happy to say that inspectors agreed that we are making progress towards that goal, and they go into some detail in their letter about how we’ve done that so far.

    Please see the links to the full letters below.
