Motivation
Education can break down barriers. As a child that struggled with Dyslexia in a primary school. Some inspirational teachers and Head teachers spent time in going back to the fundamentals. This resulted in exceptional outcomes at for GCSE’s, A Level, Degree, post graduate degree and finally a ‘Distinction’ in a Master’s in Education. This outstanding education gave Chris the drive to follow a pathway in education and more importantly to raise aspirations. The field of Special Educational Needs and Disability (SEND) often has stigma’s attached and aspirations can be deflated. Chris firmly believes in young people, regardless of their needs, being able to unleash their limitless potential.
