Time to unwind after a busy week. The highlight being 2 days of fantastic CPD from @teachlikeachamp.bsky.social It was really good to spend time with colleagues thinking about how we can apply certain strategies within the different contexts across our Trust. Have a great weekend everyone! 🫶🏼

A great SENDCo can transform children’s & their families’ lives. Quite frankly they are 100% gold plated edu-diamonds and their deep knowledge & compassionate understanding twinned with a relentless belief in what is possible is powerful & inspirational. They are true heroes. 🙏🏻

Being a professional is so much easier than being a parent. So I’m sharing this in case any one reading this post needs to hear these words. Keep fighting for your child! The system is broken but they aren’t. And you aren’t!
