On Friday 22 May we’re bringing together colleagues from across the region at The Friary School, Lichfield, for a full day focused on what matters most – building schools where every learner with SEND can genuinely thrive. As always, the event is completely free and lunch is included.
We’re thrilled to have Dr Pooky Knightsmith back with us, this time exploring how to create neurodivergent-friendly schools and what it really means to make inclusive practice part of everyday life.
Alongside her, we’re welcoming Paul Dix, whose work on relational practice and belonging has inspired schools across the world and we’re confident he’ll do the same for us.
The day runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm and has been planned so that each session connects and builds on the last. We think you’ll leave with plenty to think about – and plenty to take back to your school.
Spaces are limited, so please do secure your place as soon as you can.

Matt Allman, Primitas Chief Education Officer (CEdO), said: “Last year went superbly well and we are thrilled at the uptake in this second year. The last spaces are available for this free event and we would encourage colleagues to come together to listen to fantastic speakers on the SEND issues that we face in our daily practice.”
