Kathy King is a Science and Psychology specialist who has worked with a variety of vulnerable groups including young people with special educational needs, including social, emotional and behavioural problems, and the homeless. She is passionate about showing others the power of being active in nature and using outdoor activities as a tool to improve wellbeing. Her research has proven that participation in a 6-week Forest School programme can increase attendance and reduce exclusion rates from mainstream school. Applying the fundamentals of the holistic Forest School approach in all that she does, Kathy believes this can create positive changes in behaviour. Kathy made a life-changing decision to leave teaching and enrol on an outdoor instructor programme after experiencing high levels of work-related stress and anxiety. The 2-day a week course provided an opportunity to master new skills and focus on what she considered to be most important in life. It was on the water that the idea for the Wild Camp Training Programme was born. This is a project aimed at young women who are currently out of education, employment and/or training (N.E.E.T) and is designed to empower and increase physical and mental health. Since then, the charity has evolved to deliver after school clubs, forest school sessions, holiday clubs, 1-1 outdoor activity sessions and group days out.

transformance music

We are a group of teachers, musicians and technologists who specialise in composition, improvisation and performance using iPads. Ben Sellers and Travis Snyder began running music workshops with iPads in a Hackney community centre in 2011, developing an approach that combined outstanding musical outcomes with implicit development of musicianship and theory. They transferred this approach to both formal mainstream and SEND/ALN contexts, codifying their methods into what became the 2014 textbook ‘Teaching Music with Garageband for iPad’, and a popular teacher training scheme. In 2016, Travis returned to California to become the head of Assistive Technology for the San Francisco District School Board. 2017 saw the publication of several new resources, including a second edition of the Garageband textbook and an increased focus on training partnerships with Music Education Hubs. Since 2018 we have gained an increasingly strong reputation as SEND/ALN specialists, working with MEHs up and down the country to improve provision through co-delivery and bespoke training and resources, including a complete ‘SEN/D Curriculum’ with Leicester-Shire Music Service, and a set of projects for the Charanga education platform. We were nominated twice in the 2019 ‘Music Teacher Awards for Excellence’. Though our reputation has grown, we remain a small and focussed team, working hard to develop in young people the skill, desire and drive to use music to enhance their lives.

aldridge education

London

We believe that education should be stimulating, enriching and enjoyable. That strong schools achieve this through creating the right environment for high-quality learning having strong, broad and relevant curricula; by having clear boundaries, building excellent relationships and working to close gaps for every learner. We believe that a great education empowers people, both children and adults, because it offers them genuine choices for their future decisions. And helps them to appreciate the value of learning throughout their lives. Our mission doesn’t stop at the age of 18 because we also support adult education for all. Whatever your age, we want to support you in learning and training. That’s why we’re building towards having adult provision – parallel provision - aligned to our schools in each region. Now more than ever, in the light of Covid-19, our young people need an education which equips them to navigate a turbulent, fast-changing world. They need agility and resilience. And our most vulnerable or disadvantaged learners will be those who are most in need. To turn our vision into reality, we focus on five Aldridge Ambitions – the things we want to be known for – by our own communities and beyond our own communities. An integrated school improvement and staff development programme which closes gaps for all and by all - bringing excellence in culture, curriculum and learning.

thetford grammar school

We believe in the importance of a small school setting where a detailed picture of each pupil – their strengths, their needs, their hopes – is known by all staff. This means we are able to set challenges appropriate to our pupils' ability levels, ensuring that they are always being stretched to achieve the very best of which they are capable. Small classes ensure that pupils receive individual attention from teachers. The excellent relationships between pupils and staff result in a strong family atmosphere. Knowing our pupils well encourages them to take risks, safe and certain of our support for them. We offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities because we know that well-rounded young people are best equipped to thrive academically and socially.
