Delivering Highly Structured, Inclusive Teaching Use evidence-based SEND pedagogies such as: Chunking information Overlearning and repetition Task sequencing and modelling Assistive technology Create predictable routines that support regulation and reduce anxiety. 4. Assessment and Tracking of Progress Adapt FS/GCSE assessment formats where appropriate (approved access arrangements, modified papers, internal assessments). Track both academic progress and SEND-related skills (communication, self-management, independence). Provide frequent formative feedback using accessible formats (visuals, sentence starters, spoken feedback). 5. Supporting Communication Needs Collaborate with SENCo and SaLT to embed communication goals. Use communication strategies such as PECs, communication boards, or simplified language. Support alternative ways of responding (typing, recording, drawing, choosing). 6. Behaviour and Emotional Regulation Support Implement trauma informed and therapeutic approaches in lessons. Use de escalation strategies and positive behaviour support plans. Teach emotional vocabulary and self regulation strategies during English activities. 7. Collaboration with the wider SEND Team Work closely with: Teaching assistants Communication and Inclusion Lead SaLT Counsellors Therapists Parents/carers Coordinate learning approaches across the team to ensure consistency. 8. Creating SEND-Accessible Resources Produce simplified reading materials, symbol-supported texts, scaffolded writing frames.

Preparation for Exams and Qualifications Identify the most appropriate pathway: GCSE English Language Functional Skills Support exam access arrangements (scribes, readers, extra time, modified papers). 10. Supporting Life Skills through English Develop functional literacy aligned with real world needs: Understanding forms and letters Everyday reading (signs, timetables) Practical writing skills 11. Safeguarding Responsibilities Monitor students' wellbeing and communication for safeguarding concerns. Report observations through the appropriate channels (DSL, safeguarding procedures).

Use de escalation strategies and positive behaviour support plans. Teach emotional vocabulary and self regulation strategies during English activities. 7.

Prepare learning aids such as word banks, visuals, sequencing cards, and sensory-friendly worksheets. 9. Preparation for Exams and Qualifications Identify the most appropriate pathway: GCSE English Language Functional Skills Support exam access arrangements (scribes, readers, extra time, modified papers). 10.
