We have two key ways to engage with the Special Educational Needs programme which we run at Windsor High School:
On Monday 20th February 2012 we will be running a one day programme "Achieving outstanding student progress in Special Educational Needs". The price for this session will be £85 and it will draw together a range of sessions from specialists who have proven capability in achieving this goal.
We are also extending our on-going INSET programme to interested professionals from around the area. Relevant for both support staff and teachers, twilight INSET sessions will focus on the most effective practice in the following areas. Exemplified throughout with real situations and effective strategies these sessions are an opportunity for you to also bring along current issues and worries to explore with fellow professionals. Areas of focus include:

We are keen to evolve this programme to the needs of local schools – if you want to add a particular focus area to this list contact ahalford@windsor.dudley.sch.uk and we will look at how the programme can be extended to draw in the specialist support you require.
