Thank you to everyone who joined us for our SEND Conference last week, held in partnership with North East Lincolnshire Council. We were delighted to welcome over 40 delegates to a day dedicated to deepening understanding and enhancing practice in the education of pupils with severe and complex learning difficulties.

The conference centred on developing a curriculum tailored to the unique needs of these learners, offering rich insights, practical strategies and resources for immediate use. The day opened with a warm welcome from Rachel Wilkes, CEO of Humber Education Trust, setting a collaborative and inspiring tone for the event.

We were privileged to host sessions led by Berni Moorcroft and Alec Young, whose knowledge, energy and engaging presentations brought the curriculum to life. The newly suggested Humber Education Trust Spice Girl/Chip Spice band was a memorable highlight! A huge thank you to Berni and Alec for making the day so impactful.

Delegates remained fully engaged throughout the day, participating in discussions and hands-on activities, as you can see in our video here: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/humber-education-trust_hethighlights-activity-7437891487478161408-yZ78?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAFf2H14BKgwvrjwNQ5thZma5vcLEUScDBQ8

One delegate captured the spirit of the day perfectly: “𝑉𝑒𝑟𝑦 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑟𝑔𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑜 𝑎𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑣𝑖𝑑𝑒 𝑎 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑓𝑢𝑙𝑙 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑤𝑎𝑠 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑛𝑒𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔. 𝐴 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑣𝑜𝑖𝑐𝑒𝑠 𝑎𝑑𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑚𝑢𝑐ℎ 𝑡𝑜 𝑎 𝑤𝑒𝑙𝑙-𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑑 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑑𝑎𝑦.”

We extend our sincere thanks to North East Lincolnshire Council for subsidising the venue and refreshments, and to the dedicated staff and helpers who ensured everything ran smoothly. Special thanks also go to the team at Humber Royal for their hospitality.

Where everybody counts, every moment matters.
