1. SEND First Classroom

SEND needs are increasing in number and complexity. With reduced time, money and staffing, how do we meet the needs of our children and young people?

​

Katherine Johnson, Headteacher at Northcott School in Hull brings her understanding of SEND in the local area along with her experiences as an ASD outreach service to offer practical tips for making classrooms more inclusive. 

​

SEND first classrooms will be a practical session thinking about how we can be more inclusive in response to increasing demand.
