About the role
A Special Educational Needs Coordinator leads a whole-school approach to identifying and removing barriers to learning. The interview focuses on sound assessment, practical classroom support, family partnership, staff development, confidentiality and evidence that interventions improve participation and learning.
How to prepare
- Prepare a case where assessment changed your understanding of a learner's needs.
- Review inclusive teaching approaches that benefit a class before individual adjustments are added.
- Think through how you set measurable outcomes and review whether support is transferring to the classroom.

- Review safeguarding and information-sharing procedures for sensitive disclosures.
Common mistakes
- Jumping from difficult behaviour to a diagnosis without gathering broad evidence.
- Removing learners from class without considering access to strong everyday teaching.
- Promising confidentiality when safeguarding information may need to be shared.
