A couple of case studies

Here are just a couple of ways that we have worked with schools recently.  It gives you a small taste of the way that ASEND advisors work, and the contribution that we can make to provision for disabled and SEN children in schools.

Need a SENCO?

A school in London approached ASEND for a consultant SENCO when they had a vacancy.  ASEND worked with staff to promote quality first teaching throughout the school, reducing numbers on the SEN register whilst improving pupil progress. The consultant streamlined the review process, supported the recruitment of a permanent first class SENCO and continued to liaise with the school as a “critical friend”. As a result, staff and parent confidence has risen and pupil outcomes are much improved.

Improving provision for children with learning difficulties

The head of a primary school asked ASEND to help them to plan for and monitor the progress of a group of children with learning difficulties, some of whom had additional needs.  ASEND’s specialist teacher provided training for teachers and teaching assistants on P Levels, communication and personalisation of the curriculum and modelled lessons. Progress was good for both disabled children and their non-disabled peers.
