SENDCo SENCo SEN Special Education Support | Example Supporting Application Covering Letter
TheTeachingCoachTheTeachingCoach

SENDCo SENCo SEN Special Education Support | Example Supporting Application Covering Letter

(1)
IMPROVED FOR 2024 This resource is an example application letter for the position of SENCo in a secondary school. This letter should be developed by including your own examples of where you have completed the points referenced and the impact of that work as well as your learning from the work you have completed – using the spaces to help you do this. This letter is for guidance only and should not be used exclusively to apply for a SENCo role but instead used to support the writing of your own letter. Letters should always be tailored to the school you are applying to and your own experiences. This example includes more ideas than you may wish to include in your own letter and is intended to highlight a variety of content you could use. This template is over 5 pages long and full of ideas which you could use or remove. This resource is aimed a secondary school SENCo role, but could provide ideas for other stages of education also. Please note: covering letters should not exceed 2 pages in length. I never recommend sending blanket templates for prospective roles and always advise an application is tailored to you and the school.
Head of Year Overview - Key Job Description Roles Responsibilities

Head of Year Overview - Key Job Description Roles Responsibilities

(1)
This is a document compiled from various Head of Year job descriptions, as well as my own knowledge of what is required of Heads of Year as they move through the year groups. I have also included an overview of the characteristics often associated with Heads of Year. This is a document compiling other sources of information and so is not an ‘original’ from me - simply compiled to help others. It is helpful if you are considering what a Head of Year role might include. However, it is important to remember all roles are different and each school will view the role differently.
