An insightful day spent at the University of Surrey attending The Conference with Henry Penfold.
A fantastic array of speakers whose strong messages on truly impactful, inclusive practice resonated through the day. Great to hear from David Curran Patrick McGrath Al Kingsley MBE Matthew Wemyss Michelle Catterson Matt Dean Nici Foote Dr Susie NYMAN other experts, who were kind enough to share inspiring stories and insightful methodology.
Paddy’s quote that is “Necessary for some. Useful for all” will be one that I will be passing on to the staff that I train moving forward.
An inclusion classroom means EVERYONE benefits from the tools that are available and when we plan, we need to design a lesson with accessibility embedded from the start, not as an afterthought.
Thanks to everyone who organised the day.
