SENCo Interview Preparation | Whole School SEND Data Analysis In Tray Task Pack

This is pack 1 of my data analysis tasks for SENCo’s preparing for interview

Prepare confidently for your SENCo interview with this realistic data analysis task designed to simulate a common scenario: analysing SEND-specific whole-school data to identify strengths, areas for development, and plan actionable next steps.

What’s Included?

• A clear task brief and mock SEND data from across year groups

• Space for your own analysis and notes

• Helpful prompts to guide your thinking (not included in real interviews)

• A detailed example analysis highlighting key issues in attendance, progress, and behaviour, with strategic priorities and practical next steps

• Guidance on interpreting data, spotting trends, and prioritising interventions

• Tips on embedding ongoing review and monitoring cycles to ensure sustained improvement

Task Scenario:
You have been asked to review SEND data ahead of a meeting with SLT. They want a clear summary of what the data reveals about SEND provision and your recommendations as the SENCo.

Why Use This Resource?
This pack helps you develop the critical data literacy and strategic thinking skills essential for SENCo leadership. You will practise analysing key SEND metrics like attendance, Progress 8, and fixed-term suspensions, and develop a coherent, evidence-based approach to improving outcomes for students with SEND.

Who Is It For?
Anyone preparing for a SENCo interview in secondary education, especially in England, who wants to build confidence with data analysis tasks and articulate clear, practical priorities for SEND provision.

Please note:
This is a focused, guided task to support your interview preparation and is not an exhaustive SEND data analysis resource. It’s designed to build your confidence and provide a framework to structure your responses effectively.
