Reviews for Starting Out as a Primary SENCo: Finding your first post, the first year and beyond

Starting Out as a Primary SENCo is a brilliant and incredibly useful resource. Lynn somehow achieves the impossible of guiding the reader through the huge role of starting as a SENDCo all in one book! A very useful resource with practical guidance for new and aspiring SENDCos. * Georgina Durrant, author of SEND Strategies for the Primary Years, @senresourceblog on X * Starting Out as a Primary SENCo is the go-to guide for anyone venturing on this wonderful pathway. It is a simple, practical and thorough manual for every step of the journey. Clear and readable, this book is full of excellent resources to lighten the daily load of the SENDCo and put a spring in their step. * Chris Dyson, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Create Partnership Trust *
