I’m Mark - an inclusion specialist with over a decade of experience helping schools and families deliver SEND provision that works.
I bring hands-on SEND expertise, backed by senior leadership experience and advanced qualifications. I’ve built SEND departments, led whole-school inclusion, supported families through complex SEND pathways, and advised local authorities.
My approach is warm, strategic, and practical - no jargon, no box-ticking.
I help schools and families build inclusive systems where children and staff can thrive.
Is your school leading the way in inclusion - or struggling to keep up?
I help schools build sustainable, high-impact inclusion systems that stretch resources, retain staff, and stand out. In a climate of shrinking budgets, retention challenges, and constant policy change, I help you stay ahead - not just cope. I have years of inclusive practice experience - and managing school projects.
I’ve built SEND departments from the ground up, opened alternative provisions, and advised at local authority level.
My support is practical, proven, and flexible - delivered in person or virtually, tailored to your setting.
Are you a parent or carer? Navigating the SEND system can feel overwhelming - you don’t have to do it alone.
Whether you need a one-off conversation to understand your next steps, or ongoing support with a complex SEND case, I can help you make sense of the system and advocate with confidence.
With experience supporting families through assessments, provision planning, and decision-making, I offer calm, practical guidance tailored to your child and your situation.
Support is available virtually or in person, depending on what works best for your family.
I work with:
Primary and Secondary Schools
SENDCos (new, aspiring, or overwhelmed)
Senior Leaders, including governors
MATs

Services available from: 9 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday to Friday
