Innovation at secondary to support pupils with SEMH needs

Community supporter spotlight: Amy Husband, Head of School Academic, Academy21 will briefly introduce the session. Chaired by Roger Inman of Stone King, this panel brings together leaders from SENDSCOPE, an innovative specialist school created to support pupils with complex needs at the transition from primary to secondary, and from All Saints Catholic College, a maintained mainstream school that brings focus to working with pupils before potential SEMH or learning needs are diagnosed. Together they will discuss what education leaders can do in these unprecedented circumstances for schools, and how they can incorporate early intervention for pupils’ best outcomes.
