Celebrating 50 editions of nasen Connect – and a new curriculum model at Hartsdown Academy (article taken from nasen Connect Autumn 2025 Edition)

As nasen Connect reaches its 50th edition, our Autumn 2025 issue brings together stories of innovation, inclusion and impact from across the SEND sector.

In this special milestone issue, we explore how schools are reimagining teaching and learning for every child. One standout feature shares how Hartsdown Academy in Margate transformed Key Stage 3 by redesigning its curriculum model from the ground up - creating stronger relationships, smoother transitions, and improved outcomes for learners with SEND.

This landmark edition marks not just a celebration of Connect’s journey, but a look ahead to the next chapter of inclusive practice.

Look out for the full Autumn 2025 edition – coming soon.
