Abstract
This school audit was developed as part of the PAASS research project. The PAASS project was funded by the Nuffield Foundation and conducted by Dr Emma Sumner, Dr Catherine Antalek and Dr Amelia Roberts, at University College London, IOE Faculty of Education and Society. The PAASS project engaged with key stakeholders (i.e., SENCos, Specialist Assessors, and secondary pupils with literacy difficulties), surveying and interviewing these groups about their experience of access arrangement provision in secondary schools in England. In addition to capturing practice, the team conducted efficacy studies to test how students respond to common access arrangements. The findings are included in full in the project report and can be accessed here. The school audit is based on the themes that emerged from the survey and interviews – specifically, areas that key stakeholders were reporting often need further attention to enhance optimal use of exam access arrangements. The themes have been translated to actionable ‘domains’ for practitioners working in the field of exam access arrangements. The audit also incorporates some key takeaways from the efficacy study findings. Specifically, these emphasised the need to take an individual approach and, importantly, to monitor how students respond to access arrangements that are put in place – in case another approach might be needed. The audit is designed to help schools review their policies, practice and provision to support students to make best use of their exam access arrangements. Schools are encouraged to use each domain to reflect on their own school context. The illustrative criteria provide examples of focus areas but are not intended to be prescriptive or exhaustive. Prompts are provided for practitioners completing the audit.
