🌿📚 NEW for 2026 – Inclusive Classrooms in Practice: SEN, Wellbeing, Outdoor Learning and Community Engagement 📚🌿
Our summer course in Kilmeedy Social Farm, facilitated by Barry Gilbourne, is proving to be a huge success with teachers from across the region.
One comment from a teacher on the course, giving feedback:
⭐ “Best summer course I ever did.” ⭐
Participants are exploring practical approaches to inclusive education, SEN support, teacher wellbeing, outdoor and biodiversity-based learning, digital technologies, and community engagement-all designed to support meaningful and sustainable whole-school improvement.
The beautiful setting of Kilmeedy Social Farm has provided the perfect environment for reflection, collaboration and hands-on learning.
