Inset / staff development offered through the schools
observing / shadowing others
undertaking observations of children
undertaking assessments of children

collating EHCP application paperwork
planning interventions
working with parents
All activities are designed to develop apprentices in a way that is mutually beneficial to the school
This is 10 to 15 pieces of evidence that demonstrate the qualification standards. We support you to find the best bits of evidence according to your context but generally include:
planned intervention
CPD certificates of training attended
children’s observations and assessment
completed referrals
EHCP application
This is pretty much the same as what you have experienced throughout the programme; you will have an observation and a professional discussion supported by your portfolio of evidence.
Within the Level 5 Assistant SENCO we have also embedded the Level 4 Higher Level Teacher Status certificate which will use the same portfolio evidence - still all completely free!
If you are over 19 years old there is no requirement to have Level 2 Maths and English qualifications; however if you would like to complete these alongside your apprenticeship we can offer these - all still free!
