Louise is an experienced teacher and school leader who has worked in mainstream and special schools since 2008.

 Her interest in Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) blossomed in 2015 when she was appointed as an Advisory Teacher within the Specialist Support Service of a Local Authority. In this role she gained invaluable insights into the specific needs of schools, colleges, and early years’ settings in their endeavour to support students with a range of SEND. Following that she joined the SLT of a special school in Birmingham, where she had whole school responsibility for quality of education and curriculum development. 

Louise has a solid track record of offering support to SENCOs (Special Educational Needs Coordinators) and senior leadership teams (SLT) in schools and settings. She thrives in training staff to enhance their knowledge and skills concerning SEND, trauma and Child Development. Furthermore, she holds high aspirations for all pupils and offers guidance on how to enhance SEND provisions in educational settings, ensuring that individual pupil’s needs are recognised and provided for. More recently, Louise has developed a keen interest in working with Alternative Provisions to develop high quality bespoke curriculum offers for children and young people who find a school environment challenging.
