Free Resource for Schools and SENCOs

This PowerPoint presentation has been designed to give new SENCOs (and those supporting them) a clear, high-level overview of the SENCO role.

It can be used in multiple ways:

To introduce new SENCOs to their responsibilities around inclusion and leadership.

To explain to school staff and SLT the complexity and scope of the SENCO role, ensuring colleagues appreciate its strategic importance.

To open discussions with governors about how inclusion is embedded in policy and practice.

To provide a training or CPD session starter for teachers and support staff.

To engage with parents and the wider school community about how schools promote belonging and equality.

The presentation covers:

The SENCO as an inclusion leader

The historical and legal context of inclusion

Strategic leadership and collaboration with SLT

The graduated approach and high-quality teaching

Balancing intervention and classroom inclusion

Working with TAs, assessments, and access arrangements

It is ready to use, but also:

Easily editable – schools can adapt it to their own policies, vision, and context.

Designed to be professional yet accessible – suitable for a wide range of audiences.

A strong tool to raise awareness of inclusion as a whole-school responsibility.

This is offered as a free resource to support schools in strengthening inclusion.
