02 February 2021 Online Presentation – SEND Remote Education
Mrs Ania Hildrey, our Headteacher, is leading an international project focused on developing an SEND Toolkit based on most effective practice in remote education. In February, she addressed the Headteachers of 12 special schools in Liverpool sharing her research to-date and inviting others to join the next phase of her NPQEL project (National Professional Qualification for Executive Leadership).
The recording of her presentation is available below:

03 March 2021 Online Webinar – SEND Remote Education
As part of the above project, we have worked with our partners in HIgher Education.
Mrs Hildrey delegated to Ms Mursic a joint delivery of a workshop aimed at teachers and leaders in special schools.
Ms Mursic was joined by Sarah Wright, Senior Lecturer in Education at Edge Hill University in launching our support programme for remote education provision during which, in little over an hour, main themes from our international survey were covered together with a demonstration of several available online tools.
There were some technical issues to solve during the session, so this recording serves an additional purpose of modelling that problem-solving! For the easier navigation, the list below includes hyperlinks to specific parts of the session.
