How can online learning support students with SEND?

  • Thursday 5th October

The number of students with SEND has risen by 5% in the last year alone. For these young people, a tailored, self-paced learning journey is crucial. However, finding effective tools, strategies, and provision can be a formidable challenge due to their diverse needs.

Watch our 30-minute webinar, hosted by Tute’s SEND lead teacher and Assistant Head of T&L. We were joined by guest panelists from Surrey Online School and two committed parents of a SEN student.

Together, we delved into their firsthand experiences with online learning, revealing how it has not only helped SEN students progress but also ignited their passion for learning.

“I wasn’t a fan of physical classrooms. I ended up dropping out of public secondary school in like the beginning of year 8, I think? Then I spent the next 3-4 years not really doing anything until GCSEs came up and my school recommended Tute… I experienced autistic burnout but I didn’t know I was autistic at the time so no one (and myself) had any idea what was going on with me and my mental health just kind of declined super fast…”
