This resource is my first set of practice data task for Heads of Year/Pastoral Leaders preparing for interview.

SENDCo SENCo SEN Special Education Support | Example Supporting Application Covering Letter
TheTeachingCoachTheTeachingCoach

SENDCo SENCo SEN Special Education Support | Example Supporting Application Covering Letter

(1)
IMPROVED FOR 2024 This resource is an example application letter for the position of SENCo in a secondary school. This letter should be developed by including your own examples of where you have completed the points referenced and the impact of that work as well as your learning from the work you have completed – using the spaces to help you do this. This letter is for guidance only and should not be used exclusively to apply for a SENCo role but instead used to support the writing of your own letter. Letters should always be tailored to the school you are applying to and your own experiences. This example includes more ideas than you may wish to include in your own letter and is intended to highlight a variety of content you could use. This template is over 5 pages long and full of ideas which you could use or remove. This resource is aimed a secondary school SENCo role, but could provide ideas for other stages of education also. Please note: covering letters should not exceed 2 pages in length. I never recommend sending blanket templates for prospective roles and always advise an application is tailored to you and the school.
Head of English - Curriculum Lead - In Tray - Interview Preparation Task - Curriculum Design
TheTeachingCoachTheTeachingCoach

Head of English - Curriculum Lead - In Tray - Interview Preparation Task - Curriculum Design

(0)
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. You are asked to explain how you would improve the model taking into account a 5 year curriculum. The task also asks you to consider curriculum intent and pupil entitlement to run alongside it. 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
