This episode of the SecEd Podcast focuses on how schools can best support both SEN students and looked after children as we continue our recovery from the coronavirus lockdown.
We discuss what barriers to education and wellbeing these children are facing so far this term and practical suggestions for how schools and teachers can support them.
Topics include interventions, whole-school approaches, parental engagement, curriculum design, examination preparation as well as practical tips for both teachers and school leaders.
Featuring Paddy Smith, Head of Student Welfare at Bede Academy in Northumberland; Garry Freeman, an experienced SENCO and National SEND System Leader; Clare Brokenshire, Head of Faculty with Academy 21.
