Parents & teachers of primary aged children with SEND (with or without a diagnosis) I’d love you to consider my latest book which covers – Speech, lang & communication – Literacy – Numeracy – Motor skills – Emotional reg – Sensory differences – Concentration & organisation.

Lovely reviews from parents and teachers, so glad it’s helpful #SENDStrategiesForThePrimaryYears Amazon: amzn.to/3QKZx48

It’s a real privilege to be involved in this work with Prof Becky Francis and the rest of the panel, and it’s not a responsibility I take lightly. Children with SEND, their families and the adults who support them every day deserve the best from the review. I’m lucky to have begun…

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect. Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents. We’ll: ✅ Give parents more transparency ✅ Drive high & rising standards ✅ Pave the way for school report cards

As school begins in England, periodic reminder that schools which choose to reward 100% attendance without equally rewarding disabled children who cannot achieve this for disability related reasons may well be breaching the Equality Act and the Human Rights Act

Greenwood Academies Trust colleagues - grab your link from the SharePoint (or me) to attend this fantastic session later this month with Georgina Durrant #ShowcaseSEND

Positive news about changes to Ofsted: removing single word judgements, notifying schools only on a Mon for inspections on Tues/wed only. But THIS is brilliant- looks like ‘inclusion’ will be one of the criteria schools are judged on schoolsweek.co.uk/inclusion-a-ke… Bridget Phillipson

Good news!

Georgina Durrant Bridget Phillipson Really, after #Lockdown, I'm surprised the education system hasn't developed better at home learning alternatives that can be measured and count for attendance virtually for those unable to attend in person.

I now have the copy of this wonderful book by Georgina Durrant #sbswinnershour

For a blog post- looking for best books on SLCN for secondary teachers. Any recommendations?

For a thing! (Pls RT for reach) #SEND Parents- what do you wish ECTs (Early Career Teachers) knew about SEND? (And if you’re an #ECT- what questions about SEND do you have. & More experienced teachers- what do you wish they told you about SEND as an ECT?)

Lots of people buying my book this week, thank you so much - really hope you’re finding it helpful xx

A very happy 5th birthday today to the DfE’s SEND Review, still in the planning & testing stage

Might just quit being an author and become a cake baker hehe!

Anyone able to share any research into the drop off of SLCN as a child’s primary SEN need from Primary School to Secondary School?

About to get my laptop out to crack on with the secondary version of this! It’s great to be back writing ✍️ #SENDStrategies
