Research shows that the most effective and sustainable professional learning is through collaborative, collegiate communities with a specific focus. The SENCO District Network provides a structure within which SENCOs are facilitated to develop their knowledge and understanding through research, and implementation of strategies to improve outcomes for learners. It is a continual process and forms a ‘spiral of enquiry’.

The content of this two hour session would include national and local changes to policy, current research and resources as well as development of the strategic leadership role to drive improvement.

Our SEN Moodle will be undergoing an upgrade on 30th November and the site will not be available for use during this time. This upgrade will enable us to benefit from more recent improvements to the platform and ensure the ongoing security of the site. There will not be any changes to the site content or to the way that you access resources and links.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused - we are working closely with our Moodle provider to minimise any disruption to users so that we can get the site back up and running as soon as we can.

HIAS have recently created a new catalogue for our autumn term training which can be found through the link here.

This will include information regarding all upcoming training offers during this period, as well as brief descriptions of each course and how to book via the learning zone.

This course provides LSAs with an understanding of their role when working with pupils with SEND. It will provide an opportunity for participants to examine their role in developing relationships with pupils and how the language they use can have a positive or negative impact on the pupil and others.

This training will be delivered in 3 x half day sessions
