Joining Dale today is Ginny Bootman. Ginny is currently a SENCO of 2 Primary schools, but has been a teacher for a very long time (in her own words), a senior manager and headteacher. She has also found time to write articles for TES and speak at a number of events.
There is often a huge divide between how a child with additional needs presents themselves at school compared to how they are at home. This discussion looks at this ‘seesaw’ situation. Too often there is a breakdown of communications between home and school as the child is presenting themselves so differently in these different environments.
