Introduction to the special schools network

The special schools network provides support tailored to the challenges and developments of special educational needs. With our ever-changing population of children with complex needs, how do we address complex teaching? The SEN team together with leading academies, consultants and schools are available to tailor make training and support to meet the needs of your school. As well as a programme of events for each term, we also offer bespoke training opportunities, employing innovative approaches to achieve sustained engagement and learning. Taking our core principle of ‘by schools for schools’ our programmes are designed by headteachers and lead practitioners.
