Working with Independent Schools
At Senco Services we understand that SEND within private and independent schools presents a different set of challenges in comparison to mainstream education.
Working with your team, Senco Services can become an extension of your SEND provision, offering you a broad range of services and capabilities on demand as and when you need them.
Should there be a SEND challenge that your team are not familiar with, or your team need refresher training to ensure they are effective and knowledgeable, or you need student assessment, reports or diagnosis; we can support your team with our skills.
If you are interested in understanding how Senco Services can assist your school, please get in touch for a free discussion.
Examples of working with Independent Schools
Senco Services worked to help Culford fill a maternity leave post as a Specialist Teacher, delivering Primary School interventions to their Key Stage 1, Key Stage 2 & Key Stage3 pupils.
In addition we were also able to provide additional SEND consultancy, alongside Irlen testing and parental SEND support.
For a number of years, Senco Services have provided Exam Access Arrangements and Student testing.
