What can a SENCO expect in Peterborough?
Demand for SEND support has grown sharply in Peterborough, as it has across the country. More children have Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs), and schools need experienced SENCOs who can lead provision, support staff and work closely with families.
SENCOs work with Peterborough City Council's SEND services, educational psychologists, speech and language therapists and health professionals, as well as specialist settings in the area. Strong knowledge of the SEND Code of Practice, annual reviews and the EHCP process is essential.
SENCOs must be qualified teachers, and new SENCOs are expected to complete the National Professional Qualification for SENCOs (NPQSENCO). Schools also value assistant SENCOs and experienced SEND teachers who are working towards the role.
Key Responsibilities
- 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
- Work with parents, carers and external professionals
- Train and advise teachers and teaching assistants
- Monitor the progress of pupils with SEND and report to leaders and governors
Who we're looking for
- Qualified teachers (QTS) who are SENCO-qualified or working towards the NPQSENCO
- Experienced SENCOs looking for interim or long-term cover
- Assistant SENCOs ready for their next step
- Experienced SEND teachers interested in moving into SENCO roles
