Planning Your Year as SENCO- 2024…I wanted to let you both know how useful it has been (already!)I have been a SENCO for 10 years in 4 settings. I have found your training to be the most useful training I’ve had since NASENCo. It’s been such great training, Jamie Thomson, Head of School, St. Mary’s CE Primary, Timsbury.
I attended the Dyslexia training back in January and it was one of the most useful CPD sessions I have engaged in. It was full to the brim with practical approaches and explained with so much care.

‘Really useful and relevant course with lots of strategies to use back in the classroom’, Alison Evans, Teacher, Gurnard Primary School, Isle of Wight
‘Sue assessed our 6 year old son at school after he found the transition into Year 1 challenging and he was struggling to concentrate; resulting in really disruptive behaviours. We were all really struggling at home and school because we didn’t know how to support him effectively to change his behaviours. From the outset of the assessment we felt that Sue really listened to (and understood!) our concerns and we were able to input to the assessment from our perspective. After the classroom observation and one to one assessments, Sue provided verbal feedback then a full report containing recommendations that were both practical and achievable, both in the classroom and at home. His classteacher implemented some of the strategies the following week and found a couple worked with immediate positive results. We couldn’t believe it! We all accepted that it might take a bit of time to find the right strategies to meet his needs, but the changes in our son’s behaviour have been amazing and the feedback from his school has been overwhelmingly positive. There are now far more good days than bad and we are genuinely grateful to Sue for really understanding the root causes of our son’s challenges and for the emotional and practical support she gave us (and the teaching staff) throughout the process.’ Sarah W – Parent
