Building on the success of Bett 2025, which was filled with energy and engagement, we’re excited to bring the SEND community together to facilitate even more new connections.
In collaboration with SENsational Tutors, this event brings together educators, SENDco’s, tech experts, teachers and leaders for an afternoon of learning and collaboration. Designed to provide practical insights, useful tips and expert guidance, it features three talks along with an ‘ask the experts’ Q&A session, plus time to network, have a well-earned drink and compare notes with peers.
The afternoon is aimed at anyone working to improve teaching and learning for students with SEND within primary, secondary and FE. If you’d like to hear best practice case studies, be able to reflect and ask advice from experts, then we look forward to welcoming you to our community event to continue the conversation.
