One Page Profile Homework

 

Your child has brought home a blank ‘One Page Profile’ to complete with your support.  Please complete the sheet together (parents to scribe for younger children) and return the sheet to your class teacher.

One Page Profiles

We believe that one-page profiles are the foundation of personalisation, and can lead to positive change for people, whatever their age or circumstances. They provide us with an at-a-glance way of knowing what really matters to our pupils, that can be taken with them as they move through the school and may come into contact with other teachers or services.

What is a One Page Profile?

A One Page Profile captures all the important information about a child on a single sheet of paper under three simple headings: what people appreciate about me, what’s important to me and how best to support me.

 

 

How can they help us to support your child better?

One Page Profiles are deceptively simple, and in this simplicity lies their strength. They help us to support people better by:

·         Helping us build better relationships by truly understanding what really matters to the child in their life and the way they are supported.

·         Providing a record that can move with the child as they transition from class to class or use with outside agencies that may need to work with your child.

·         Being regularly updated to reflect people’s changing circumstances and aspirations

·         When children have One Page Profiles, the class teacher feels like they get to know the child at a deeper level.

·         All staff working with your child will have a better understanding of their needs and how they can be supported.

 

What to do next?

·         Please complete the profile with your child.  Younger children will need you to scribe.

·         In the box “How I want to be supported”, please record how you would support your child at home with any additional needs e.g. if your child is colour blind you may write “please refrain from using red pen on the board as I am unable to see it.” 

·         Your child’s class teacher will be adding to this box over the next few weeks too.

 

 

Please return the completed One Page Profile to your child’s class teacher by Monday 16^th September 2019.
