Speaker Bio
My name is Dawn Cranshaw and I am a part time Regional SEND Leader in the West Midlands area for Whole School SEND. Alongside this role I am also a SENCO in a Primary School with a resource provision and a SEND School Improvement Officer within my Local Authority in Cheshire East as well as a wife and mum so hold many hats! I love being outdoors and spending time with family and friends. I have been in education for over 20 years and taught a range of ages and across a number of Local Authorities. I have always been a keen advocate for SEND and my passion to support the children, their families and the wide range of settings and professionals is at the heart of all I do.

Today, exclusions are non-existent, the school is significantly closing attainment gaps with pupils making rapid progress and anticipated exceptional progress score for their 2022 headline figures. Jo has changed the culture of the school, raising standards through coaching staff in inclusive teaching and learning and the wellbeing of staff and children has become the driving force.
