Asking for help in exams 👇

Pupils who have learning difficulties and/or disabilities may qualify for help in exams such as extra time, provision of a computer, or a person to read or write for them.

If you think your child might need help in exams, we have info on our website about how you can get the right support in place – including a model letter you can use as a template for making a request: https://www.ipsea.org.uk/help-in-exams.

Three fantastic workshops for parents of children who are struggling to attend school.

We’ve all said it… “Calm down.”
But when a child is overwhelmed, their brain often can’t access calm on command.

These swaps help you stay kind and clear, without escalating the moment.
They also keep the focus on connection, safety, and co-regulation (which is what actually helps the nervous system settle).

Save this for the next wobbly moment — future you will be grateful.

Have you recently received your child's draft EHCP or are your preparing for an Annual review?

Section F matters!

It should clearly set out what support your child will receive, who will deliver it, and how often.

We have a step-by-step guide to checking EHCPs over on our website to help you feel confident and informed.

The link is in the comments.

When anxiety spikes, the brain can feel like it’s racing ahead without you.
This quick grounding technique pulls attention back into the present using your five senses.

Try it slowly:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can taste

It’s not about “getting rid” of the feeling — it’s about helping your body feel safe enough to cope.
