Assessment Framework for Pupils with complex needs

Accurate assessment. Small-step progress. Informed provision.

This CPD session supports SEND leaders to develop confidence in using Camden’s assessment framework for pupils with complex needs. Focusing on the use of PIVATS, the session explores how to identify and assess small-step progress, inform planning, and strengthen provision for pupils working significantly below age-related expectations.

Participants will:

• gain an overview of the PIVATS framework and assessment process

• use PIVATS to support target-setting and track progress effectively

• explore approaches to implementing the framework within their school context

Through practical guidance and professional discussion, this session supports leaders to develop robust, meaningful assessment approaches that inform high-quality provision.
