Our school development plan
       ATTENDANCE & ACCESS – a focus on every young person being in and engaging well with a 
       setting that positively meets their needs. 
       Build new reporting & scrutiny for attendance and strive for our young people to have excellent support 
       from the team to help improve their attendance, including reducing exclusions.
      ATTAINMENT & PROGRESS – a focus on every child being able to fulfil their potential, enjoying 
      learning and making good progress. 
      Develop the Personal Education Plan to enable achievement to be clear, enabling needs to be planned for 
      effectively - and to support our new forecasting and reporting. Develop a Pupil Premium + Support Map to 
      show our offer & the impact it has on achievement. Plan for new resources to support learning after 
      school and support our Carers with this.
           Our school development plan
       PERSONAL EDUCATION PLANS (PEPs) –  our aim is for every one of our young people to have a 
       good quality personalized PEP in timescales, that supports their needs and helps them towards fulfilling their 
       potential. Use data to evidence need for change/development and consult with partners to achieve co-
       production. Refresh the joint responsibilities and processes across Shropshire to make this happen. Develop 
       the PEP itself to be clear & precise, including our young people’s voices to support effective plans. 
       PARTICIPATION – our young people know who we are, what we do and how we can help. We support 
       them to develop a group identity, have an impact on service design & delivery -  and we celebrate their 
       achievements! We recruit new people who are passionate about participation, build an activity plan for 
       school holidays and develop our social media presence – beginning with a Twitter account, a refreshed 
       website and a new SVS logo designed by the young people. We start to plan for an Awards event and a 
       Children in Care Council.
           Our school development plan
       TRANSITIONS, ASPIRATIONS & PROGRESSION – we are aspirational for our young 
       people to fulfil their potential and will build resources, advice and  training to support their needs. 
       We will work with our partners to develop opportunities & processes that support all sorts of transitions 
       (including becoming Previously Looked After Children) as well as planning for post 16 destinations & 
       outcomes. 
       HEALTH & EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING– we strive for our young people and our team to be 
      well supported for positive emotional well-being and mental health.
      We will create training offers for our team & partners that support inclusion and well-being for our young 
      people. We will work towards using Strengths & Difficulties Questionnaires effectively to support plans for 
      young people. Our team will have opportunities to be together as much as possible, especially while we 
      are ‘working at home’ during covid.
   OUR ACTION PLAN 
   for
   Previously Looked After Children 
   and Children with a Social Worker
                   Shropshire VS have combined together the two roles for 
                   Previously Looked After children (PLAC) and the new 
                   extended duties for Children with a Social Worker (CSW) so 
                   that the advice and information workstream in the service 
                   can be resourced and developed. 
                         Previously Looked After 
                         Children
             We will:
             •   recruit new people to the team who are passionate about supporting our children.  
             •   connect and consult with our partners to develop a good advice and training offer - and 
                 make sure people know how to get help or information from us.  
             •   support transitions from care so every young person has good support – and we will start to 
                 develop events for our young people to come together.
             •   Celebrate achievements!
