Welcome to Safe Start School Tameside, an Independent SEN provision for students 11-16 years with additional needs. I am extremely proud to be leading the staff and pupils at Safe Start School towards achieving their personal and professional goals. Having worked with vulnerable young people since my early career I see it my mission to ensure all young people who attend Safe Start are given the educational tools any student in mainstream provisions are provided with. It is my goal to ensure we support our students to transition from requiring guidance with life skills to making independent decisions to becoming successful adults. I lead with a high expectation of delivering Quality First Teaching at Safe Start School and providing a high quality education for our children. Mrs Carol Nolan Executive Director's Welcome Thank you for taking the time to look at Safe Start School.

Our committed team of professionals work alongside young people in a wrap-around service that encompasses a child’s life to allow them access to the best services and information available. The team takes a unique and innovative approach to educating key stages 3 and 4 working both in and out of the classroom. My role is to oversee our school vision and support the Senior Leadership Team to ensure no child is left behind and all students leave Safe Start with qualifications and a successful post 16 pathway.

As needed and desired we can also translate our knowledge of high-performance sport to help leaders improve their performance and release more potential. Consider for a moment the level of attention and detail that goes into developing a talented athlete. Imagine a business leader or executive team receiving the same kind of information and attention that an athlete does – but tailored instead to their own professional and personal needs in the business and personal context. And imagine if that business leader or executive was coached to coach themselves and others, so they could grow the principles and practices in their system, and fulfil more human potential and results in their organisation and their wider system. Welcome to The Business Athlete®. Our team is led by Colin Wilson – Board & Executive Team Coach. Colin is Managing Director of Business Athlete, a consultancy which specialises in individual, team, organisation and system potential, and in complex multi-stakeholder, multi-agency environments where there is a significant group dynamic component.

A versatile, incisive and challenging mentor, Colin aims to strengthen the team’s lived-out purpose, values, vision, strategy, culture and leadership in very practical and integrated ways. With the focus on achieving high performance, and individual fulfilment & enjoyment, with strong system and social responsibility, results can be measured in combinations of financial, social benefit, systemic and/or environmental impact, while ensuring business models that work and sustain.

Navigating Neurodiversity

London

The European Agency on the Development of Special Needs Education (EADSNE) (2006) highlighted individual differences as one of the largest challenges faced by teachers in mainstream schools not only in the UK but across Europe. Teacher training and preparation to support neurodiverse pupils within a mainstream setting has failed to keep up with the changes within the field of inclusion leaving teachers ill equipped to achieve true inclusivity within their classroom. The most recent study of mainstream teachers within the West Midlands highlighted that less than 29% of teachers felt confident to support the neurodiverse pupils within their class with 17% unsure of the meaning of Neurodiversity. Navigating Neurodiversity provides hands-on training and support for mainstream schools to improve teacher confidence when supporting the neurodiverse pupils within their classroom. To provide advice and guidance of ensuring barriers to learning within the classroom/school are permanently removed and providing ongoing intervention and support strategies, including de-escalation techniques to provide and happy, safe and inclusive environment which best supports learning for all pupils. We also work with leadership team, including SENCo, providing support, advice, planning and assessment documentation throughout the EHCP application process to ensure a successful outcome is achieved with maximum support gained for learners with SEN. Book Now What is Neurodiversity? Neurodiversity is the term to show the diverse way of the way the brain functions, specifically the range of ways in which we learn, think and relate to others (Honeybourne 2018). The neurodiversity paradigm argues that there is not one ‘normal’ way in which the brain functions. Originating within the study of autism to show that there was no ‘norm’ with regard to learning and social interaction and that autism was not a disorder, neurodiversity is now the term used to include all perceived neurological differences including dyscalculia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD and Tourette syndrome and supports the theory that no set way of neurocognitive functioning is more important/normal than the other and that differences in learning should be supported and embraced.
