Annual Review of the Statement
The LEA must check your child’s progress and make sure that the Statement continues to meet their SEN . They must review your child's statement at least once a year, but they can review it more often if they think it is necessary.
The annual review is in four parts:
-
Collecting information;
-
Holding an annual review meeting;
-
The Head Teacher’s report of the annual review meeting to the LEA;
-
The LEAs review of the statement.
Your child’s school will write to you, telling you the date of the review meeting and inviting you to attend. Before the meeting, the school will ask you to send in your views on your child’s progress over the past year. The school, the local parent partnership service, a voluntary organisation or a parents’ group can help you give your views.
Remember - your views are very important
The school may also ask for the written views of other professionals who know and work with your child. Before the review meeting, the school will send you copies of all the views they have received.
