FAO schools in Staffordshire
Legislation introduced in 2008 stipulates the qualifications and experience a teacher should have to be a designated Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO). In September 2009 it became law for every new SENCO in a mainstream school to gain the Master’s Level National Award for Special Educational Needs Co-ordination within 3 years of taking up the post.
Entrust works in partnership with the University of Birmingham to deliver the SENCO National Award qualification. The University of Birmingham is a Department for Education and National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) approved provider for the National Award for SEN Co-ordination. Our next cohort starts in January 2023.
This Masters level programme (60 credits) reflects the NCTL learning outcomes framework and is closely aligned to changes in special education needs and disability policy, provision and practice. The course will ensure you can carry out your responsibilities in relation to key tasks outlined in the SEN Code of Practice (2015) and the current SENCO Regulations. You will learn about relevant legislative changes, key policy initiatives, emerging research evidence and the implications of these for practice. You will also have opportunities on the course to network with other SENCOs.
This programme is ideal for:
Applicants should be SENCOs with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and can work in a range of maintained mainstream schools, maintained nursery schools, academy and free schools, and pupil referral units (PRUs).
