Performance and Assessments

Social outcomes

At The SMS Changing Lives School our students are facing multiple challenges and therefore we place as much emphasis on a student’s Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) outcomes as we do on their academic achievement.

  • The number and type of incidents of challenging behaviour.
  • The progress in learning social skills through weekly social skills groups.
  • The progress within their wellbeing curriculum.
  • Also the progress with anxiety scales and progress towards Individual Support Plan (ISP) targets, which are specifically tailored to meet the special educational needs of each pupil.
