Team approach
• Teachers/Support Staff

Sharing information
• Some Difficulties
• Language
• Inquiry Project

• SPOT Folders
• Tutors- Photos
• PP/SEND Register
• Tracking, assessing and monitoring
Quality First Teaching
• ALL students are entitled to it.
• We should treat all PP/SEND students as individuals- get to know them.
• Grouping all PP/SEND is not helpful. Many have differing levels of difficulties
Quality First Teaching
• What can we do that is in addition to what we normally do to be mindful of the barriers?
• What is needed that may be seen as extra/different?
For example:
• When setting homework, can your PP student access the internet at home? Will they have reading material? A space to write? (Do not assume, but find out?)
My aims…• Collaboration- neighbouring schools
• Visits- sending staff
• Staff training- skills and subject knowledge audit
• Pre- transition- more information
• Oracy- talk like an expert
• Sharing successes- expecting excellence/inter school sharing
• Parenting skills- classes/engagement
• Student voice- ask them…
