I’ve learnt so much tonight and am less anxious over moving from mainstream to SET. Thanks Samantha”
SEN teacher, September 2021
“I contacted Samantha through social media before beginning a new SET role. I felt nervous about my new role and worried about upcoming situations and responsibilities. I am so happy that I contacted Samantha, she put my worries at ease and I feel prepared to tackle my role armed with information and fantastic resources she provided me with. Samantha took her time with me and explained clearly what I could expect in my new role and answered all of my questions, especially in terms of different planning and assessment expectations.
After the meeting, Samantha followed up right away by forwarding me links to resources she referred to and what would help me thorough this new journey. I only wish I had more time with Samantha and I will be recommending her to my school and anyone else in my role. “
SEN teacher , August 2021
“Thanks again for delivering a really worthwhile and informative webinar tonight. It doesn’t matter how long you’re teaching be it SET or otherwise and there’s always so much more to learn. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, it’s great that it’s also coming from your previous department role – it’s so hard to get official information, as you said yourself there’s a lot of mixed messages about the SET role be it, teaching, planning etc.Also, the resources you supplied and recommended are excellent, I’m really looking forward to to using and sharing them with my SET colleagues in September“.
SEN teacher, September 2021

SEN teacher, September 2021
“As a NQT with only short learning support subbing experience and one short placement in SET, this webinar was an excellent way to refresh the important aspects of SET, as well as discover new ideas and ways to successfully plan for the children I will be working with in the coming year. I signed up to this webinar with the hopes that after it, I would not feel lost when the school year begins. I feel more confident about starting school next week and the idea of planning does not seem as daunting as you gave fantastic tips and explanations. Highly recommend this webinar or any more webinars from Samantha in the future!”
SEN teacher, September 2021
“Thanks so much for such a great session, Samantha. I moved to SET last year but went on maternity leave in October so feel like I’m really only starting this year.
