Training for SEN Teachers

Approximately 43 children from the community attend Parklands SEN School on Charlotte St, Helensburgh, all with varying special education needs. Given the variety of ability in the school, our teachers have to work extra hard to create meaningful yet digestible lessons for our children. The head teacher, Gwen, has expressed her desire to have additional training for staff in numeracy from the renowned expert, Les Staves. This type of training is not covered by local authority despite it being hugely beneficial to a school like Parklands. So we - the parents - have taken the task of sourcing the funds for it via our small PTA charity. Not only would this staff training support our teachers give our children the educational experience they deserve, we would be investing in the community long term by building little minds and empowering teachers and support staff for years to come.
