SEND / Annual Review

Run annual reviews as a process, not a deadline chase

Coordinate invitations, contributions, evidence, meetings, outcomes and the final record with the statutory timetable kept visible.

Student Radar keeps evidence and statutory workflows together. The SENCO and authorised staff remain responsible for decisions and support.

Annual Review in action. Coordinate invitations, contributions, evidence, meetings, outcomes and the final record with the statutory timetable kept visible.

From need to reviewed support

Prepare, meet, record

An annual review is three jobs in sequence. The workflow holds each one.

  1. 01

    Prepare

    The review carries its date, its readiness and the contributions gathered so far.

  2. 02

    Meet

    The meeting happens with the preparation in front of it, and its notes are recorded where the review lives.

  3. 03

    Record the outcome

    Decisions and the report are recorded against the review, so what was concluded stays with what was prepared.

Evidence in context

The review as one record

Dates, readiness, contributions, notes and outcomes, held together across the cycle.

  • Reviews with dates and readiness
  • Contributions gathered against the review
  • Notes and outcomes recorded where the review lives

What changes when Annual Review is connected

The value of Annual Review is the route from current evidence to an accountable next step, with the people and context around the work kept visible.

Reviews prepared from what is ready, missing and due next

Meetings that start with the preparation in the room

Outcomes recorded against the review, not in a separate file

The value of a connected school

A plan matters when support reaches the child.

Bring the evidence around provision into the review, so the SENCO and teaching team can decide the next step together.

Follow a connection to see what it makes possible

Relevant context, with access set by each staff member’s role and responsibilities. Staff decide the response.

  1. Attendance + SEND

    Check attendance alongside planned support

    Look at absence and late arrival around provision. A pupil may have a plan in place and still miss opportunities to receive that support.

    Explore attendance
  2. Assessment + SEND

    Bring progress evidence to the review

    Consider recorded learning and small steps alongside targets and provision. Keep the evidence visible while staff judge what is helping and what needs another look.

    Explore assessment
  3. Family communication + SEND

    Include the people who know the pupil

    Gather family contributions and coordinate review conversations around the same pupil, with named actions and dates to keep the agreed work moving.
