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.

Referral form for SENCo for staff to raise children who they feel need access arrangements- evidence of teachers flagging and normal way of working

Detailed information sheets for special educational needs including Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, ODD, Asperger's, Autism, HI/VI; Attachment Disorder. All sheets include a brief description of the need, traits students may show and top tips/ strategies to use in the classroom. I have also added links to useful websites at the bottom. These can easily be printed to put in planners/ folders or blown up for staffroom displays

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.

A document to work through with students to help them think about their physical feelings and signs when struggling with particular emotions. For example, anger, anxiety. This is then used as a prompt for both the student and staff to reduce the emotion before it escalates using personalized strategies. A completed example and blank document included

APDR document- created to be reviewed every term for children on the SEN register

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.

A document outlining many strategies mentioned within EHCPs explaining how teachers can incorporate these in to their lessons- a quick pick up resources

A document we use to support in knowing which interventions students should be part of and when they should be removed

Scheme created for SEN year 7 group but is easily adaptable. Some lessons forcus on History, Geography or English so ideal for thematic teaching. Most lessons have a main literacy task. Includes lesson presentations, resources scheme for learning and assessments for entire scheme.

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.

Having a dog visit school can be an amazing opportunity to support children in understanding personal hygiene through the eyes of a dog. It can also come with a lot of paperwork. See included a letter to parents, a risk assessment and a one page profile example to introduce children to the dog

Literacy cube that I have created for students to have in front of them instead of a literacy mat. There is a copy of our marking policy on one square but you can easily delete this and add your own. Students love these as there is just enough information and they can turn the cube to the section they need. It has really helped them develop more independence. Information on faces are: - Marking policy - 3 things to do before you tell me you are finished - 3 things to do before you ask me for help - Key punctuation - Parts of speech (adjectives, verbs etc) - TiP ToP (paragraphs) All faces are easily adaptable. Cubes need printing, cutting and gluing. Card holds well. I have mainly used with bottom set year 7 but could work higher up.
