As half term approaches I realise that the last couple of months has just gone by in a blur and I’ve not posted here on my work page.

Hats off to everyone working in education behind the scenes, keeping pupils/learners safe, engaged and learning. I am fortunate to work with incredible team/s where every week we work to effectively support those with SEND and those who need specialist support such as mental health, SaLT, SpLD and autism.

I find myself taking a tea break outside (rare) and suddenly feeling the sunshine on my face. I know so many of you that will recognise the hidden challenges of this remote landscape. . I applaud you. May your half term be a relaxing one ❤️

Not posted for a long while as ROA has been pretty busy! However, I’m currently at Heathrow for a week away visiting a very best friend. Work is work and I love what I do, but life has a moment when it tells you to pause and go spend time with your nearest and dearest I love my family for supporting me to do this ❤️

That moment when you are sent the recording of a national webinar you co-hosted yesterday and find yourself hearing how you sound and look to others! It was on ways to innovate to support learners using VR
