.My initial task is to bring behaviour and learning under

Great email address, Kev. Cheap, though. I trust Shelagh is impressed.

You've got to bring learning and behaviour together, eh? I hope someone has 
told your pastoral system.

I reckon you'll have enough to do teaching kids to read. If they become 
literate, they've got a chance of meeting the KS3 curriculum half way. At 
that point, they may start believing lessons have something to do with them 
and start to behave. Then again, they might not.

If SMT (SLT? I'm out of touch) want you to pick up naughty kids who can read 
already, tell SMT to naff off.

Someone must have asked you at interview what the job of a SENCO entailed. 
Whatever you answered impressed them enough to give you the job. So do that.

>From an LA point of view, I'd want you to send me the dates of your Annual 
Reviews on time. Return the AR paperwork promptly and give me some darn good 
reasons why I shoudn't strip the hours of support from you.

Learning and behaviour? I bet they've got this chapel they'd like you to 
paint at the same time.

Happy Easter

Brian
