What is a Pupil Passport to School?

A Pupil Passport to School (previously known as an Individual Education Plan and an Individual Behaviour Plan) is a document that helps teaching staff to plan for your child, teach them, and review their progress. It enables a child to achieve the most from their education by pinpointing areas where additional support may be required and contains targets designed to help children achieve with the curriculum.

A 'Pupil Passport to School' should...

• Raise achievement for pupils with special educational needs (SEN)
• Use a simple format and be seen as a working document
• Detail provision and targets which are additional to, or different from that generally available to all pupils
• Be jargon-free and easily understood by all staff and parents
• Be distributed to all relevant staff
• Promote effective planning
• Help pupils monitor their own progress
• Result in good planning and intervention
• Result in the achievement of the specified learning goals
• Enable all staff to be consistent in the approach to behaviour when working with your child
