Key takeaways
Creating a Supportive Environment: Establishing a positive and supportive learning environment is crucial for SEN students. This includes teaching about well-being and mental health, using visual aids like a class feelings board, and employing social stories to promote a positive attitude towards differences.
Understanding Individual Needs: It’s important to understand the specific needs of each pupil. Teachers should seek advice from colleagues, ensure they have access to information from the SENCo, and maintain open communication with parents, possibly through a home-school contact book.
High-Quality, Differentiated Teaching: Ensuring all pupils have access to high-quality teaching involves differentiating tasks to suit different abilities, using tools like DoodleMaths, and planning for peer support through talk partners. Personalized interventions complement high-quality teaching, helping SEN students to thrive.

Over the past few years, the needs of children in mainstream schools have escalated, with roughly 15% of pupils having Special Educational Needs (SEN) – that’s five children out of a class of thirty!
Children with SEN face many barriers in the classroom, making it more challenging for them to reach their potential. And with rising costs, staff shortages and an already crammed curriculum, it’s becoming increasingly difficult for teachers to support their class as a whole – through no fault of their own!
