Course outline: 

This box set series is designed for boarding staff and school leaders giving them a broad overview series of a range of key topics relating to boarding. This series would be ideal for staff moving into senior positions in boarding, preparing for Deputy Headship and consolidating their understanding on the wider sector ‘headlines’.

Many schools are reporting an increase in the number of children with identified Special Educational Needs and disabilities.  While teachers receive training on SEND matters, this is often with an academic focus. Boarding staff who act in loco parentis have to deal with a different aspect of their pupils’ needs, which can be equally challenging. Our SEND box set will cover the points below:

Training topics will include: 

• Identification and diagnostic processes
• Reasonable adjustments and compliance
• Access arrangements for examinations
• A child-focused approach
• Quick wins and practical tips for working with children with SEND in boarding

Learning outcomes: 

• Growing confidence in supporting pupils with SEND
• Informed responses and conversations with parents
• Staying compliant in terms of reasonable adjustments

This set will be £500 for a member series place.
