SENCO Update
Practical strategies and expert guidance to meet student needs and support achievement
Why is this conference relevant?
The Government is making big changes to Special Educational Needs. Ofsted is placing more and more emphasis on the importance of effective SEND provision. These are having a profound impact on the traditional role of the SENCO. Are you confident that your SEND provision is complying with the latest expectations? Are you creating a truly inclusive environment within your school? Are you effectively evidencing this?
What can I expect?
The latest practical strategies and guidance on achieving and delivering Outstanding SEND provision under the new Ofsted inspection framework. Ensure the highest quality of support is achieved for your SEND students to meet their complex needs and allow them to reach potential.
Hear from Janet Thompson HMI, National Advisor for SEND, Ofsted, who will give invaluable insights into what inspectors will be looking for, how to improve your current SEND provision and how to evidence this. Don’t miss this opportunity to question the leading SEND figure in Ofsted!
Also, hear from two Outstanding SEND schools:
