My son has had a few false starts with post 18 education but today I am super proud as he received his result of a 2:1 BA with Hons in Applied Special Educational Needs and Disability. He is fantastic at working with children with SEN and will always go above and beyond for them!

Not all school staff are teachers. Let’s not forget the TA’s, the admin team, the caterers, the site staff, the cleaners and the technicians. They all make a school a school and all make a teachers job easier. @ChilternA #supportstaff @ChilternLT
