SENCOs and Special Schools

Whether you are a SENCO in a mainstream school or a member of the School Leadership Team (SLT) in a special school, you are faced every day with the challenge of meeting the learning needs of every pupil with a specific learning difficulty. To do this effectively, SENCOs and Special Schools require resources and services that offer the flexibility to fit in with their own specific requirements and the reliability that ensures ease of use and consistency.

From GL Performance’s portfolio, a number of resources provide this and more. For example, GO 4 Schools is an innovative school data system that provides up-to-the-minute school statistics and individual pupil data on demand. This is hugely valuable to SENCOs and teachers who want a transparent, cross-curriculum view of each pupil that is linked to their Individual Education Plan.

Schoolcentre, our online self-evaluation and school improvement tool, keeps all staff – including e.g. support staff, support agencies and administrators – up-to-date and in the picture. Documents and statements can be supported by all kinds of evidence, including photos, scans of pupils’ work, sound recordings and videos.

Whole school improvement in special schools can be enhanced further by using our Kirkland Rowell Surveys to find out exactly what your stakeholders think and where changes are most needed.

And with over 60 flexible modules, our Professional Development Services offer a wide range of high-quality training opportunities, many of which are relevant to SENCOs and Special School leaders and staff.
