The Hart of Learning

In this thought-provoking episode, we revisit the topic of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities and ask a critical question: Is SEND being treated as a bolt-on to mainstream education, or is it truly embedded in our teaching and learning practices? Join us for a concise exploration of current attitudes, challenges, and what meaningful inclusion really looks like in today’s classrooms.

In this episode, we dive into how our school has embraced instructional coaching — not just as a buzzword, but as a game-changer. From boosting teacher confidence to transforming classroom practice, we share how we've made coaching work for us, and why it’s become one of our most powerful tools for growth. Light, practical, and packed with real talk — tune in to hear how coaching became our secret sauce!

Our first episode (be kind) as we discuss the topic of SEND. We talk about how this can often be an afterthought, but, ultimately, how a cracking SEND provision benefits everyone.
