I’m a SENCo at a secondary school and have created many resources for our year 7 and 8 children who were unable to reach the expected grades at ks2 and are therefore part of a small class of 15 children.
I have also created many resources to support teachers differentiate for children with SEN and provide new strategies for them to trial

Just need printing (back to back), laminating, cutting then attaching. I have printed them for every teacher and attached them with a key ring and feedback has been fantastic.
Once cut they are A5 size and really handy to carry, keep in classrooms or in folders or planners. Information is as follows:
pg 1: front cover
pg 2: outline of quality first teaching
pg 3: overview of SEN code of practice
pg 3: a web of dyslexia traits
pg 4: general strategies for dyslexia
pg 5: ASD web of traits
pg 6: general strategies for ASD
pg 7: dyspraxia web of traits
pg 8: general strategies for dyspraxia
pg 9: dyscalculia web of traits
pg 10: general strategies for dyscalculia
pg 11: ADHD web of traits
pg 12: genera strategies for ADHD
pg 13: general strategies for EAL
pg 14: general strategies for visual impairments
pg 15: general strategies for hearing impairments
All sheets are fully editable.
I have created this sheet to go inside a plastic folder. Every teacher who has an additional adult will complete this so when the additional adult arrives in lesson, they can see some basic information about the lesson.
The additional adult completes the bottom section within the lesson and so after the lesson the teacher can see anything that was not able to be communicated during the lesson. This can also be used as evidence for the amount of support some students may need.
This has worked really well in a secondary school where there are lots of teaching staff and additional adults.
UPDATED December 2022 :)
Yellow- 1st Warning
Orange- 2nd Warning
Red- 3rd Warning
Print these cards back to back. Students will recognise the colours and understand the closer they are getting through the warnings. It also reminds students of what is expected of them in the classroom. It also means students are crystal clear on the warning they are on and it’s also easy for class teachers to remember who they have given warnings to without writing student’s names on the board.
Everything you need to set up a referral system and support colleagues with strategies for specific needs which can be sent out as an easy to read sheet.
This booklet includes practical strategies to support with staff or students struggling with their mental health. Strategies used are taught within DBT therapy and have been broken down in a manner which is easy for people to understand. It is split into 3 sections: Mindfulness, emotional regulation and distress tolerance.
Included is a booklet and presentation in order to share on a larger scale
A form that I have created to send out to teachers of a student who has been referred to the SEN department. This is built on the main areas of need and will give you an idea of concerns about a particular student on a whole school level.
It is quick for teachers to fill out as it is mainly tick boxes and comment columns but it means colleagues are commenting on the particular area you need them to.
Everything I have created to make a clear, consistent referral process.
1. Referral process. This outlines the process of referring a child and what is done once a child is referred to the SEN department
2. Referral form. This is filled out and passed onto the SEN department. The referrer needs to identify why they are referring the child and what they have done within the classroom already to support them. The back in then completed by members of the SEN department as they are completing the observations, work reviews and requesting teacher feedback.
3. work review. This is a checklist of things to look for when analysing the quality of work students have produced.
4. SEN observation form. This is a tick list and notes document to make things easy to look at when observing a child.
All documents are editable.
