SEND provision is provision for all

Many schools are struggling with rising SEND needs - not just numbers of pupils with SEND but the severity and complexity of their needs. This is particularly the case with Autism and SEMH needs. I like to look at things from a "big picture" perspective and look for solutions that benefit all as well as what an individual needs.

I have worked in specialist settings for Autism and SEMH needs as well as in mainstream covering different age ranges where I set up SEND provisions "in-house" to meet increasing demands. Holding the role of Chair of Governors, I see the challenges from both a teaching and accountability perspective.

I feel strongly that there are a lot of no/low-cost simple changes we can make environmentally that will support ALL pupils, not just those with SEND. This makes a learning walk or audit with me unique as I do not necessarily focus on the teaching itself but the flow, layout and sensory demands in your school.

SEND Consultancy

My focus is always on holistic needs first, often termed "Maslow before Bloom". Meeting the needs of pupils as humans before any academic learning is expected is key to my approach.

I believe in supporting the holistic needs of staff as well as pupils and therefore use a coaching instead of a traditional feedback approach following learning walks and pupil observations. This allows staff the time and space for reflection where they are safe and free from judgement.

All visits are summarised in a report shared with you after the visit has taken place.

I am happy to discuss bespoke options with you to suit the needs of your school community. Please email me to arrange a complimentary 30 minute connection call.
