In this resource, we explore 10 questions you might be asked on a SENCo interview and 10 detailed possible answers. This resource is 7 pages long.
This is a complimentary resource to the set 1 and set 2 SENCo questions (these are with no answers) listed in my shop. It can be used in conjunction or on its own to help you prepare for interview.
We answer, in detail, questions like…
- Why are you interested in the role of SENCo?
- What skills could you bring to our SENCO role?
- 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?
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.
