Creating a Provision Map Step 4: plan the provision map for the next year and undertake necessary staff development
The school should consider the information they have collected – the range of provision that is needed, the amount of provision required and the types of provision likely to be effective. It may be that schools are unable to fill all the identified gaps in their provision at immediately. In these cases schools should prioritise provision and plan over time to address all gaps and under provision within the school.
It is highly likely that if you are introducing some new or different provisions as a result of your audit you will need to plan for staff development time to ensure that all staff are confident in providing these new provisions in an effective manner.
When the school has decided what will be provided it can record this information on a provision map.
It is essential not to forget to also complete a provision map sheet to record the allocation of resources amongst pupils with individual needs. This is ‘general; provision which cannot be directly tracked to individual pupils or groups of pupils but which benefits all pupils. These provisions are likely to include continuing professional development costs, administration time or purchase of ICT hardware and software for pupils with individual needs.
Our Provision Manager software enables you to record detailed information about which cannot be directly tracked to individual pupils or groups of pupils but which benefits all pupils.
