Welcome to LEARN
We provide bespoke CPD and school support through a wide range of specialist SEND and mainstream colleagues, some of which is SEND specific but our core focus is to ensure that every child receives access to high quality education across Lincolnshire and beyond. This includes our regular First Aid and Team Teach sessions.
Since opening in September 2014, we have developed a portfolio of programmes and have been fortunate enough to be involved in a DfE funded SEND support project. We are based in Lincolnshire but support the wider workforce in neighboruring counties.
LEARN are also proud to be the SEND partner of L.E.A.D. Teaching School Hub and have developed and written content for their offer this academic year.
With access to a wider network of specialist partners, we endeavour to ensure all of your CPD needs are met. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact us and we will signpost you to the right direction.

Testimonials
What other schools have said…
“Taking part in the LENS Project has been very beneficial. It has opened dialogue between both the reviewer and the triad of schools. LEARN have facilitated positive discussion and enabled all three schools to reflect on current practice and crucially, ways to move forward. It has been vigorous and challenging but in a safe and supported manner. The triad are developing an invaluable support network and we are already sharing ideas, good practice and resources. We look forward to continuing this journey together.”
SEND Lead in School
“The Team Teach trainer had extensive knowledge and shared this relating to real life school experiences. This was excellent and enabled us to put the situations into real context. There was so much guidance and repetition throughout the course to ensure we felt secure during, and after the training. Thank you.”
