Julie Paisley- SENDCO
Julie has been involved in the world of SEND since beginning her teaching career in 2001, as a class teacher, SENCO and Headteacher. She currently works in four different primary schools carrying out the SENDCo role.
I enjoy every aspect of my role as SENDCo, from working with the children, to supporting staff and parents and working closely with outside agencies. Having the privilege to be able to watch children flourish within their school through the resources, strategies and interventions that have been put in place to support them is so rewarding and I would not change my job for the world!
One of the aspects of the role I enjoy the most is getting to work alongside professionals from different settings and outside agencies. Being able to share what has worked, exchange ideas and thrash out what has not been so successful means my role is constantly evolving and I am always learning.
We will be adding more information soon
We have a number of speakers lined up as well as information stands available on the day.
