At a glance headlines: May 8, 2014

The latest round of SEN scholarships and new resources to help schools prepare for SEN reforms are among the SecEd At a glance headlines for May 8, 2014.

Teachers and SEN support staff are being invited to apply for funding to develop their specialist knowledge and skills. The £1 million National Scholarship Fund is open for bids for the fourth year running. Teachers can apply for up to £3,500, while SEN support staff can bid for up to £2,000. The money must be used for training that will improve the support available to students with SEN. Applications are being accepted for the next three weeks. So far, £7 million has been made available through the fund, going to almost 2,000 teachers and support staff. The fund is open to all qualified teachers and SEN support staff in eligible schools with applications assessed on both the priority specialism of SEN and the support from the school.
