Our area SEND system has been strengthened and the ways we deliver our services have been transformed to better meet children’s needs.\nWe have reviewed our area’s SEND governance arrangement and launched the new area SEND Strategic Partnership, making a stronger connection between parents, young people, health, education, and social care. During this period, the DfE and CQC have judged in their review that Wokingham has made marked progress in all the remaining improvement actions which were required in the last SEND Inspection and included in the Written Statement of Action. Continuously improving children and young people’s outcomes are at the heart of what we do.\nThe schools and the SEND partners’ efforts have led to a steady improvement in the learning outcomes across all key stages of children with SEND, they are now significantly better than other local authority areas both nationally and in the Southeast region.\nWhile much to be celebrated seeing the green shoots of SEND partners’ commitment and efforts, we recognise that there is still a long way to go with many challenges ahead. Working collaboratively with the DfE, we have significantly invested in new provisions (two new special schools have been agreed and another has already opened), as well as the practice framework for positive change across the system.\nFurthermore, within Wokingham LA, we are fortunate that the local authority’s corporate leadership team understand the need to invest in SEND service and make this a priority area for growth despite of a tough LA financial landscape across the country.\nWith this extra investment, we have developed a plan that will help grow our SEND service’s capacity, realigning and strengthening the teams to create conditions for SEND workforce to thrive with more opportunities for carer progression.
