Diagnostic assessment dates available for the Spring Term 2025
I have been a Deputy Head Teacher, Lead Teacher, Specialist Teacher for Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), and SENCo, and have experience in primary and secondary schools as well as in local authority and specialist provisions. I have recently worked for Cambridgeshire Local Authority SEND Services as a specialist teacher.
I have completed the National Award for SEND and the Post Graduate Certificate in Professional Practice and have achieved the National Professional Qualification in Senior Leadership.
Through my involvement with the London Leadership Team, I have completed SEND Peer reviews across schools and as a SEND Advocate for Whole School SEND, I have worked to change the language associated with SEND and promote an ethos of equal opportunities for all. I regularly deliver SEND training to teachers.
I believe it is essential to develop an inclusive environment for all students with SEND and to promote a positive education experience to develop resilience and self-esteem. I use a pupil centred approach to planning; to identify barriers and build on strengths.
I follow the Dyslexia Guild and PATOSS Code of Practice, have DBS clearance, hold professional indemnity insurance and am registered with the ICO. Please email for a copy of the Privacy Notice Document.
I can offer full diagnostic assessments for dyslexia, make recommendations to students and their schools, and can collaborate with schools to apply for exam access arrangements such as extra time.
