What can a SENCO expect in Norwich?
Demand for SEND support in Norwich has grown in recent years, with more pupils on EHCPs in mainstream schools and pressure on places at special schools such as The Clare School, Hall School, Harford Manor and The Wherry School.
SENCOs in Norwich work with Norfolk County Council's SEND teams, educational psychologists and families, and many schools look for interim SENCOs to cover leave or vacancies while they recruit.
SENCOs lead their school's SEND provision under the SEND Code of Practice, coordinate EHCP applications and annual reviews, and train staff. New SENCOs must complete the NPQ for SENCOs within three years of appointment.

- Lead the school's SEND provision in line with the SEND Code of Practice
- Coordinate support plans, provision maps and EHCP applications
- Run annual reviews and liaise with the local authority
