Smaller groups, more tailored support, stronger relationships with pupils and the opportunity to make a genuine difference every single day.I'm currently working with a number of primary and secondary schools that have ARPs (Additionally Resourced Provisions), SEND units and specialist resource bases supporting pupils with needs such as:
