The second is set up to track the multiple interventions which you may use to try and raise attendance. The final is for tracking attendance rewards to ensure your rewards are well distributed. The first sheet is conditionally formatted - this means that the sheet will change colour depending on the % of attendance inputted. This will give you a visual overview of any students who are concern. All of the sheets have been set up to filter - so you can easily find a student name or see who has had rewards etc. Please leave a review if you find this useful.

In this resource, you will find a task designed to help you prepare for an English head of department interview. Specifically, this is a task using a fictionalised curriculum model.

During an interview, you may be asked to complete an in tray of this nature, but you may also be asked to explain your thoughts and theories on curriculum intention and implementation - so this practice model/task is a great way to think about the changes you’d make to a curriculum you have never seen Please make sure you follow me on facebook: facebook.com/teachcoach

Give us a summary of your understanding of the Code of Practice: How would you use data to inform this role? How would you demonstrate value for money in this role? Tell us about your ability to work under pressure. A parent arrives in reception angry about the support their child with SEN has received. What do you do? How would you time manage as a SENCo? A student with ADHD is struggling in their English lessons – they are not making expected progress and the teacher is challenged by their behaviour - how would you support the teacher to help the student? Why have you chosen this school to apply to as SENCo? Please note: whilst the questions are detailed and thorough, they are NOT a definitive list, and the answers are not exhaustive. You may want to select parts of the answers which apply best to your knowledge. You should also add to your answers using experiences of your own and include your learning from these experiences that you would take into the new role. You should never use generic answers in an interview setting. Always link your answers with what you know about the school and their priorities.
