After writing my previous post, on what you should include when writing your report, I thought it might be helpful to collate a list of "key" words which the Local Authorities will be looking for and which are not derogatory towards the mainstream education system. So here are some great phrases and words to get started with:
Our philosophy towards learning is...
Progress
Development
This report is intended to give an illustration
To provide simulating learning...
A key aim
In regards to maintaining...we...
We consider

Our highest priority

To instil a love of...
To ensure
To thrive
To develop
A purposeful activity

Learning opportunities
Write in the past or present tense, avoid speaking about the future as this could be misinterpreted by the Local Authorities as factual and future plans are very changeable. Stick to what you know to be true!
Your child is awesome now, focus on that. Everything is a learning experience so all the amazing things your child is doing is learning and developing.
