Our SEND Journey 

Ofsted and CQC re-visited Sutton on Monday 2 March to Wednesday 4 March 2020 to review the progress the Local Area had made following the inspection.  

CQC Ofsted Local Area Re-visit 2020

More information on the CQC Ofsted re-visit is available. 

Although the visit was successful, the COVID pandemic then occurred and the response from Ofsted and CQC was not formally received until May 2020.  However, at that point Ofsted and CQC then formally confirmed that Sutton’s Local Area services for children and young people with SEND had made “sufficient progress” in all three areas identified in the SEND Local Area inspection, and therefore the Local Area no longer required a Written Statement of Action.

Since this time, the Local Area has continued to build on the firm foundations set through the work of the WSOA, and is fully committed to continuing to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND.
