As we bid farewell to September, let’s welcome the flaming colours and crisp air of October with open arms. But wait! There’s more to this month than just pumpkin spice lattes and cosy jumpers. We’ve got a veritable feast of knowledge coming your way in our upcoming blog series dedicated entirely to Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

Just like the variety you’d find in a bag of Revels, our topics range from understanding your SEND budget (nope, it doesn’t have to be as scary as that spider lurking in the corner) through to managing software licences within SEND – because who hasn’t spent an afternoon wrestling with those pesky terms & conditions?

We’ll delve into how SENCOs can master transition processes without needing Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak while also exploring strategies for prioritising personal development. After all, even superheroes need time for self-improvement!

Expect tips on delivering staff CPD effectively (spoiler alert: it involves more than just biscuits), insights on crafting comprehensive SEN reports that won’t send anyone off snoozing, and guidance on enhancing SEND provisions through thoughtful planning and adaptation.

Our posts will also cover practical aspects such as managing staff absences – no magic wand required – along with advice on embedding parent & pupil feedback into your provision; because everyone loves a good natter now and then!

So buckle up folks! This is going be one exciting ride through the world of SEND this October.

Remember – these blogs are designed not only for reading but also sharing among colleagues or friends interested in learning about SENCO roles or improving their current practices. So don’t forget to share them around like they’re hot potatoes at a Sunday roast dinner!
