Special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)

SEND children often need additional support to access a broad and balanced curriculum. Our customisable curriculum, individualised ongoing support, and advanced Maestro technology can help transform teaching and learning in special schools. 

We believe in providing every child with the best opportunities to help them succeed in their learning. We recognise that for those schools teaching children with SEND, this often means using a range of flexible and diverse teaching strategies and approaches to the curriculum. Our adaptable curriculum, housed on our advanced online platform Maestro, and our ongoing support can enable your school to build a unique curriculum that meets all your children’s needs and interests.
