“I am again so excited about the work that is planned and the potential impact it may have for our young people. Thanks for your enthusiasm Wendy, I am excited about the opportunities it will open to our students and the impact it will have in the journey of improvement for all at our school.”
Saira Luffman, Secondary Head Teacher“Our visiting consultants must be extremely experienced in their field at both child/school level and the wider national developments; Wendy ticked every box, and more! Her passion to improve the speech, language and communication of children and young people was clearly evident in every presentation she gave.”
Zena Martin, Director at Inclusive Learning NorthWendy has always impressed me with her grasp of the issues and her ability to communicate complex ideas effectively. The work she produces is always of the highest calibre from inception to execution.
Lysa Schwartz, CEO Makaton Charity“The children love coming to the sessions, even those boys who we thought really wouldn’t engage with it are so engaged in each session and actually working together. We can see changes in their language as the weeks go on and the boys themselves are commenting on the progress they are making.”
Secondary School HLTAIn 2016, only 19.8% of pupils with SLCN achieved five or more GCSE grades A*-C including English and mathematics, compared to 63% of all pupils. This gap is wider than that for all pupils with SEN.
