Hot weather can make learning harder for some children with SEND, affecting concentration, sensory regulation, and wellbeing. A little extra understanding and support can make a big difference during the warmer months. #BrightleafEducationGroup #SEND #SENEducation #Wellbeing

With the right support, personalised learning and a nurturing approach, young people can rebuild confidence, re-engage with education and achieve their full potential. Discover how #BrightleafEducationGroup helps students flourish >> brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk

When mainstream school isn't working, it's not a sign of failure. Sometimes a different educational environment can unlock confidence, wellbeing, and a love of learning. Every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. #BrightleafEducationGroup #SEND #SENEducation

The proposed ban on social media for under-16s has reignited debate around childhood, wellbeing and online safety. At #BrightleafEducationGroup, we explore what this could mean for young people and why real-world connections matter more than ever. brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk/post/giving-ch…

Many SEND students who refuse school aren't being challenging, they're communicating distress, anxiety or overwhelm. Read our latest blog for understanding the cause, rather than focusing on the behaviour, often the first step towards positive change: brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk/post/supportin…

Is your child thriving at school, or simply getting by? Our latest blog explores when mainstream education may not be the right fit and what support options are available >> brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk/post/is-mainst… #SEND #Education #Parenting #AlternativeEducation #SpecialEducationalNeeds

Every behaviour is a form of communication. Behind a child who seems distracted, withdrawn, or frustrated, there may be an unmet need, anxiety, or overwhelm. Understanding comes before progress. With the right support, every young person can thrive. #BrightleafEducationGroup

Does your child seem bright but struggles with school, friendships, confidence or concentration? Sometimes the signs of SEN aren't obvious. Trust your instincts. Early support can make a life-changing difference to a child's future. #SEN #BrightleafEducationGroup #Parenting

Confidence is a key part of helping young people thrive. Our latest blog explores practical ways parents, carers and educators can help teenagers develop confidence, resilience and independence. Read more > brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk/post/building-… #SEND #SpecialEducationalNeeds #Parenting

Did you know that when a young person's needs are recognised and supported appropriately, the impact can be transformational. Confidence grows, anxiety can reduce, engagement improves, and learning becomes more accessible and enjoyable. #BrightleafEducationGroup #SENEducation

New Ofsted management information is out — and it gives us an early glimpse of what inspections are showing under the renewed framework. The important word here is early. The latest data covers inspections published up to 30 April 2026, but only a small proportion of schools have been inspected under the renewed model so far. So this is not the whole national picture — but it is a useful signal. What stands out? Safeguarding is overwhelmingly being judged as met. The areas most likely to need attention are: • achievement • curriculum and teaching • attendance and behaviour • leadership and governance For leaders, the takeaway is not to panic or chase labels. It is to be clear on the story your school can tell: How does curriculum connect to classroom practice? How are attendance, behaviour and inclusion affecting achievement? How do governors know what is working? Where are pupils not learning as securely as they should — and what is being done about it? This is useful early data, but it needs careful interpretation.

Learning through play is important and can help young children be ready for school, encourage their imagination and help them with literacy and numeracy skills ow.ly/Qe3Q50YFvVF #Play #WhyPlayMatters #SupportforParents #WeAreCoram

Success in education looks different for every child. For some young people with SEND, success might be answering a question in class, making a new friend, managing anxiety, or simply feeling confident enough to come to school. #BrightleafEducationGroup

Disabled young people have shared what would make a real difference to their education experience - helping them learn and thrive just like any other child or young person.

Not all learning difficulties are visible. Sometimes a child labelled “distracted” or “challenging” may actually be overwhelmed, anxious, or struggling to cope. The right SEN support can change a young person’s future. #BrightleafEducationGroup #SENEducation #ADHDSupport

The right #SENEducation can change far more than academic outcomes. It can rebuild confidence, reduce anxiety, strengthen independence, and help young people feel genuinely understood for the first time. Learn more >> brightleafeducationgroup.co.uk #BrightleafEducationGroup

At #BrightleafEducationGroup we believe in creating safe, nurturing & empowering learning environments where children can build confidence, develop independence, & achieve brighter futures at their own pace. Because education should never just be about fitting in. #SENEducation

Helping children build resilience and confidence is one of the most important gifts we can give them. Resilience is being able to manage stress, challenges, trauma or adversity that life brings and bounce back from it ow.ly/vs2m50Z12M7 #WeAreCoram
