Gentle Learning Support

At Gentle Learning, we strive to work closely with schools for the benefit of children, families, and staff. Schools are central to the SEND crisis, often lacking the resources to meet demand.

We have developed several ways to support schools cost-effectively. As a teacher with nearly 30 years of experience in schools, and as a parent of a child with additional needs, I am well placed to offer support to schools that does not contribute to the workload of overstretched teachers, but instead complements their daily practice.

Hi Everyone.
