SEND Specialist Expertise

The SENDCo’s job is to support the class teacher in planning for children with SEND. The SENDCo attends network meetings which provide regular updates regarding current developments in Special Educational Needs/Disabilities and Inclusion.

The school has a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) Training Plan which provides training and support to enable all staff to improve the teaching and learning of all children, including those with SEND. This includes whole school training on SEND issues.

Individual class teachers and support staff attend training courses run by outside agencies that are relevant to the needs of specific children in their class.
