    Camden's Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Strategy Year 3 Progress Report

    Report of the Director of Education Commissioning and Inclusion.

     

    Camden’s Local Area SEND Strategy was published in November 2022. As part of the delivery of this strategy we publish annual progress reports outlining the work that we have done to deliver the commitments in the strategy. Appendix 1 provides detail of the work that has taken place during 2025.

     

    During the last year, we have made significant progress in the delivery of the ambitions of the strategy. Over 70% of actions within our implementation plan are either completed or on track.

     

    This is the third year of delivery of our five-year strategy and the scale of the ambition of the reform we are undertaking means that there is still considerable work to do. We will also be publishing our implementation plan setting out planned activity up to 2027, the end of the strategy period.

    Achievements and Standards Report 2025 and update on the Education Strategy

    Report of the Chief Executive Officer, Camden Learning.

     

    This report provides the Committee with an overview and analysis of Camden school performance. It contains an analysis of overall published school outcomes from the academic year 2024-25 in Early Years, the Year 1 Phonics check, Key Stage (KS) 2, KS4 and KS5 alongside other key performance indicators including Ofsted inspection outcomes, attendance, and suspensions data. Three-year trends alongside ranking against local and national averages are given where known. There are no KS2 or KS4 progress scores this year or next due to the cancellation of statutory testing in 2020 and 2021. KS1 assessments are no longer statutory so not represented in this report.

     

    Appendix 2 of this report sets out the 2024-25 annual report that reviews the implementation of Camden’s education strategy, Building Back Stronger, which was published in 2022.
