Testimonials
I found this a great environment to build links with teachers and to stimulate debate with others. The ideas that came out of these discussions and from best practice will have a direct effect on Teaching and Learning in my school.
- Wildern School (Secondary Academy)Attended Online SEND Conference 2020 - I would opt for online again…as I only work part time and have health needs so this is more flexible and far less exhausting than a trek to London. The (content) was incredibly useful.
- North West Kent Alternative Provision ServiceAn excellent way to glean information from experts and fellow practitioners, and to network too. Great to have a chance to have question and answer sessions too.
- Bradford Grammar School (Independent School)This was an excellent event. It gave me lots to think about and lots of practical ideas. I was inspired and wanted to get on with implementing all that I had heard. There was a good range of speakers that were knowledgeable in their field.
- Bede Academy (All-Through Academy)A great insight into how we can support children from disadvantaged backgrounds to meet their higher potential.
- Derwentwater Primary School (Maintained School)A broad mix of speakers and insightful analysis from schools, and central and local government.
- London Borough of Haringey Great range of speakers that have given me numerous strategies to implement within our department to improve pupil progress.
- Lady Margaret School (Secondary Academy)Attended Online SEND Conference 2020 - As a new SENCO in September the conference provided a valuable overview of the role. The case studies given were relevant and coupled with the additional reading lists, I now feel more confident with the new role.
- Weald of Kent Grammar SchoolA really good event that was well organised. Mix of speakers was great and provided lots of food for thought.
- Colmore Partnership Teaching School Alliance I came away from the day not only with an enriched sense of what character education looks like, but also of why it is so important to teach in schools. Great speakers, good venue, and a positive experience all round.
- Sevenoaks School (Independent School)A interesting and insightful day, listening to a range of knowledgeable speakers with varied backgrounds in the delivery of primary MFL across school. I was especially interested in listening to the trends of teaching MFL to young learners and the requirements of the new OFSTED framework. It has challenged me and inspired me to look at my teaching of MFL.
- Western House Academy (Primary Academy)Attended Online SEND Conference 2020 - I think it worked really well as a virtual conference.
