How does the school help the teachers to support children with SEND and what training do they have?

The SENCo’s job is to support the class teachers in ensuring that they meet the needs of SEND learners. Mrs Riley (SENCo) is working towards the qualification ‘National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordination’ but is supported by our previous SENCo Miss Moggridge who has achieved this award. As part of the performance appraisal cycle, the school identifies training opportunities for all staff. Class teachers and support staff may attend training courses run by outside agencies that are relevant to the needs of specific children.
