At Endeavour Academy we set our young people challenging yet achievable outcomes and track their progress so that we can set next steps of learning.

Endeavour Academy introduced a new assessment strategy in September 2018 in response to The Rochford review. This ensures we can capture all types of progress made by our pupils across all curriculum areas - Wellbeing, Social Skills, Independence and Knowledge, Skills and Understanding.

To set targets we work as a multi-professional group which includes: parents, teachers, therapist, social workers,carers, LD CAHMS and other relevant health professionals. We do this via:

• Person Centred Plans
• EHCP outcomes
• Learning Intentions - set on a termly basis

To track progress we are currently using:

• MAPP 2 (EQUALS)
• PECS phases
• Endeavour Academy Learning Intentions
• Personal Behaviour Support Plans
• Occupational Therapy specific assessments and reports
• Speech and Language Therapy specific assessments and reports
• Functional analysis

We use evidence of young people's progress throughout the Academy and enrichment activities to contribute towards their ASDAN, Art Awards, AQA unit scheme and Duke of Edinburgh accreditation.
