- Assess pupils’ needs and use detailed knowledge of SEND and adaptive teaching strategies to support progress.
- Develop, implement and review individual support plans, ensuring provision aligns with EHCP outcomes or SEN Support documentation.
- Work collaboratively with a full-time teaching assistant who supports the children in the provision.
- Work collaboratively with the school SENCo, the children’s families and external agencies to provide coordinated support.
