Take the Next Step in Your SEND Leadership Journey ...

Did you know that around two-thirds of SENCOs in England balance SEND leadership with a teaching timetable? As the demands of the role continue to grow and SEND remains a key government priority, now is the perfect time to build on your NPQ for SENCOs with a Master's in Special Educational Needs and Disability.

Our MA SEND programme will help you deepen your critical understanding of SEND policy, practice, and research while developing advanced skills in advocacy, and evidence-informed decision-making. You will be empowered to challenge inequity, influence practice, and make a lasting difference to the lives of children, young people, and families.

Visit our course page to find out more and book onto one of our summer online open evenings: https://www.chester.ac.uk/study/course-search/special-educational-needs-and-disability-send-ma/

The School of Education's annual staff event staff wrapped up another academic year in style 🎁 Not only is it important that we look back to recognise and celebrate what's been achieved (of which there is plenty!) 🎉 but also to reflect and establish a vision for the future 🔭 Sharing new research, information and ideas provides us with greater perspective - challenging existing beliefs and thinking shows us where we can grow and evolve. Collectively, we finish the summer term empowered to move forward as a leading provider of both academic development and teacher training ❤️ Will you help us write our next chapter? 📖

First‑year students on the BA Early Childhood and Primary Education programme recently spent time in our Forest School area, developing confidence, practical skills and an understanding of outdoor learning through hands‑on experience. 🌿🍂🌷 Using natural materials found in this immersive environment, students created ephemeral nature art during a woodland play session.
