About me
As an educator working directly with children and young people for over 30 years I have a broad range of experience in a variety of settings. I have worked in mainstream schools; special schools and for the local authority in an advisory capacity. As a SENDco I have worked closely with Educational Psychologists. The support I offer aims to translate and enhance existing knowledge a school has about a child into practical solutions that class teachers and teaching assistants can implement. I work with children aged from 4 to 16. Over the years my skills set has broadened and diversified. I am a strong believer in the power of education at every level, and its ability to open doors for children and young people to pursue their dreams and ambitions.
I am passionate about ensuring that the best possible learning experiences are provided for children and I look for practical ways to support teachers to meet the needs of their individual pupils and the challenges they both may face in achieving this.
Please look at the services I have available, working either in school or in the home. I can also build other packages of support tailored for children with special needs, including children with pupil premium funding; Looked After Children; children with safeguarding needs and children with diagnosed or undiagnosed SEND
