Working closely with the SENCO, you will play a key role in supporting students with SEN to achieve their full potential. You will liaise with parents, carers and external agencies, contribute to the development and review of support plans and EHCPs, deliver targeted interventions, and help ensure that students receive the highest quality support both in and out of the classroom.
