We hope our schools have had a well deserved Summer break!! Although for many of the schools that we Support at Specialist SEND Group, we prepare to welcome our amazing young learners back to school after the Summer Break, we recognise that this transition may not be easy for some! For those young learners with additional needs, there can be changes in routine and feelings of sadness or anxiety that can make returning to the classroom challenging. At SEND we understand the importance of creating a supportive and nurturing environment where all young learners feel safe, valued, and loved. Here are some tips on reintegrating young learners back with positive interventions and reassurance that your school is a place of safety, comfort and belonging.

Talk about creative recruiting and retention. I'd love to hear other innovative recruiting strategies
A group of educators moved in to the Fairfield County Teacher Village this weekend. This village gives educators in the district an affordable housing option with a short commute to rural schools. Juan Alvarado is the inaugural Educator in Residence in the USC College of Education house in the village. He is beginning his first year in the classroom. “You do take a moment and think, ‘Is this too good to be true?’” Alvarado said, “I’m thankful for the position and (that) I took advantage of the opportunity.” See the full story on WIS-TV: bit.ly/46EFL1T

Leader in education and mental health, helping to create transformational and lasting change for families and organizations.
With school right around the corner (and some that have already started) we’re getting calls from parents wondering if it’s too late to think about making a change to boarding school for the fall. In most cases, it’s not too late! Whether you’re wanting a smaller, safer environment or your student’s school doesn’t offer the specialty programs they need, boarding school can often be a transformational opportunity. (For the whole family, not just your child.) AND - boarding schools have such a mixed reputation. So let’s hear it! Finish this sentence in the comments: “But aren’t boarding schools ___________________?”

I'm especially interested in this post by Horizon Care & Education, describing their therapeutic approach with a focus on learning spaces. Many years ago I was a regular contributor for SEND Magazine. One such article was on the learning environment & optimum learning spaces, taking as research an analysis of the teaching spaces for children with SEND across a number of schools. Audits of learning spaces, for highly vulnerable children, included - dining halls, corridors, changing rooms, outside classrooms, outside the HT's office, libraries, IT rooms... Hardly optimum learning environments. Combine that with the number of hours a typical student with SEND is out of the classroom, and there are a host of added difficulties right there. So, lots of words to say, this article pleases me on many fronts. Well done.
Across our specialist schools, we’re continually exploring ways to create therapeutic learning environments that best support the needs of our pupils. To achieve this, our Therapy and Estates teams work closely together, collaborating on thoughtful and innovative designs that enhance the educational experience for every young person. From calming spaces to engaging classrooms, we’re proud to see our vision come to life with the opening of our three new schools - Tipton Green College, Bushbury School, and Grove Road School 💚 Read more from Alex Davenport, Head of SEND.
