SENCO SupportThe Advisory Teaching Service is able to offer a range of support packages for SENCOs in both primary and secondary schools.

SENCO Support would:

• assist with the identi� cation of children with additional needs.

• assist with the analysis and preparation of attainment/progress data for children with SEND.

• assist with choosing appropriate interventions and assessments.

• support with the evaluation of their impact.

• offer training in or modelling of the delivery of assessments and interventions.

• support staff with assessment and planning for inclusive teaching and learning.

Cost: Per half day £250 (termly agreements are available)
