This programme aims to extend teachers' knowledge and skills to enable them to strategically coordinate special educational provision and promote an ethos which celebrates diversity whilst maintaining realistically high expectations of the progress and achievement of all pupils.

The programme has been designed through the liaison of the School's Inclusive Education team with local practitioners and LEA staff and is regularly updated to ensure it provides a contemporary overview of UK policy and initiatives.

It is tailored to support current moves towards increased inclusion and is recognised by the Training and Development Agency as offering a valuable contribution to continuing professional development for teachers in the area of special educational needs.

Who is the course for?

The programme has been primarily designed for Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs), support teachers, and members of school management teams. It is appropriate for staff from all phases. Please note this course is not offered for international students.

You may already have well-developed skills for working with individual learners or groups of pupils but will your current responsibilities or professional aspirations may entail involvement in the policy and management aspects of inclusive provision.

The course also offers a first step towards further study as participants who successfully complete the PGCert may be able to take up to 60 credits forward for the taught MA (SEN) course.
