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

It is split into 3 sections: Mindfulness, emotional regulation and distress tolerance.

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
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.

I use this scheme for an SEN year 7 group. It lasts me the whole year but can be used for upper KS2 children also.
The packs include a scheme for learning, powerpoint presentations, resources and worksheets
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.
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.
Created for my SEN year 7 group, this has been a much enjoyed scheme. It includes every lesson powerpoint as well as resources, videos and a scheme for learning which will last approximately 25 hours depending on group ability. It can be easily adapted or you can just print the worksheets and run as a lesson.
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 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.
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.
