ii. to assess the child's progress towards meeting the targets agreed following the making of the statement, in the case of the first annual review; and the targets set at the previous annual review, in the case of all other reviews

iii. to review the special provision made for the child, including the appropriateness of any special equipment provided, in the context of the National Curriculum and associated assessment and reporting arrangements.  Where appropriate, the school should consider providing a profile of the child's current levels of attainment in basic literacy, numeracy and life skills, and a summary of progress achieved in other areas of the curriculum, including the National Curriculum.  Where the statement involves a modification or disapplication of the National Curriculum, the school should indicate what special arrangements have been made for the child.

iv. to consider the continuing appropriateness of the statement in the light of the child's performance during the previous year, and any additional special educational needs which may have become apparent in that time, and thus to consider whether to cease to maintain the statement or whether to make any amendments, including any further modifications or disapplication of the National Curriculum, and

v. if the statement is to be maintained, to set new targets for the coming year: progress towards those targets will be considered at the next annual review.

6:5. The child's circumstances may sometimes change during the year.  He or she may have received education, for example, in a hospital school or in a pupil referral unit or through home tuition.  Continuous assessment during the past year may have identified or confirmed a significant medical or social problem or learning difficulty which will require continuing support and intervention.  The nature and outcomes of such provision should be addressed in the annual review and reports should be obtained from all those who have been involved in the child's educational progress during the preceding year.

The annual review for children at school

6:6. This section applies to all annual reviews except the first review to take place after the child's 14th birthday.

The LEA must require the head teacher of the child's school to submit a review report by a specified date.  The LEA must give at least two months' notice of the date by which the report is required.
