Specialist Leader of Education - Laura Phillips

I have been working in primary schools for over 20 years, first as a class teacher and now as Senco and part of the Senior Leadership Team at Ivy Lane School.
I have had experience of working in a range of school settings, each very different and each facing a variety of challenges when trying to achieve the best outcomes possible for pupils with additional needs.
My SLE specialisms are:
-Supporting teachers to ensure they are meeting the needs of all of the children in their class
-Looking at ways to spend SEN budgets creatively, monitoring whether interventions are value for money
-Helping to set up robust systems for monitoring additional provision
-Supporting with collecting evidence and completing EHC Plan applications
-Using the SEN SEF effectively to improve outcomes for pupils with additional needs
