I am a Primary School teacher and SENCO who has been teaching for the past 6 years! In that time I have taught three different year groups 3,4, 5 and 6. I know how many hours I have spent on my own planning and would love to share this now with other teachers to reduce their workload.

As a SENCO and class teacher, I appreciate the workload that managing SEND brings. This year I have introduced an electronic IEP and One Page Profile format in my setting, so that teachers can keep targets updated easily. Along with the IEP template you also have access to a review sheet, which supports in meetings with parents/carers.

This is a booklet I have created for my teachers to edit and share with their current pupils, in order to prepare them for the big changes coming up. Hopefully it will help your SEND children too!
