SENCO Claire Tyrrell shares her vision for SEN provision at an inner-city school which has an innovative approach to inclusion.
Morden Mount Primary School has pupils speaking 30 languages, with experiences ranging from bereavement to drug abuse.
Claire explains the importance of time management, organisation and communication skills as she spends the morning in a series of meetings with outside agencies. Her invaluable insights into strategies for dealing with outside agencies are also expressed as well as how she actively works with parents and the local community to achieve SEN support for her students.
Claire is not only a SENCO but also assistant head and a member of the senior management team. This is a role she strongly recommends to all SENCOs as it puts inclusion at the heart of school planning.
