Dukes SEND Development Day

This term, our Head of Learning Enrichment, Mrs Haworth and Head of Sixth Form, Mr Nick along with SENDCo from across the Dukes Group hosted a Dukes SEND Development Day on ‘The Strategic SENDCo’ with Dr Nicola Crossley.

You can find out more about Dr Crossley here.

Here’s some really positive feedback from those that attended:

‘Nicola was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Everything we learned today was practical and can easily be taken into our own schools. The day was also very timely as we approach the end of the academic year as we can implement some of the idea as soon as we return to school in September’

- Louise (Heathside SENDCO)

Thank you so much Esther for organising such a brilliant day. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Your hospitality was exceptional and the food delicious. Nicola was amazing, I really enjoyed listening to her and the day flew by. I have personally come away with a fountain of excellent knowledge and strategies to implement in our school. It was wonderful being with such a dedicated team of colleagues whom are clearly passionate about SEND.’

- Mercedes (Orchard House School)

Nicola was an inspiration! She shared a range of practical ideas and shared how they were backed up by research and policy. She gave use ample time to talk to our colleagues to discuss ideas and share our experience. She is clearly very knowledgeable and an expert in the field. The day was also great for networking and catching up with colleagues.
