Not all support feels supportive.
And not all PA support is the right fit.

“From the very beginning, Chelle felt like the perfect fit.
Her approach, energy and support have made such a meaningful difference.
I’m genuinely grateful that she was chosen for me to work with.”

This is what happens when support actually fits.

If you’ve tried support before and it didn’t quite work, this will make sense.

Something important is coming.

Across schools, there’s a growing shift in how we understand learning, behaviour and inclusion.

For years, many educators have seen it:
Pupils who are capable…
But can’t always start, organise or follow through.

Not because they lack ability.
But because the skills that support thinking, behaviour and action are still developing.

🧠 Executive function.

And it’s starting to move centre stage, including in the SEND reform conversation.

We’ll be sharing more very soon.

You know the pupils.

They understand the work…
But can’t start.

They lose track…
Or feel overwhelmed before they begin.

It’s easy to see this as behaviour.
Or effort.

But often, it’s something else.

🧠 Executive function.

And it’s becoming central to how we understand learning, behaviour and inclusion, including in SEND reform.

We’re hosting a free webinar on what this means in practice.

Join Victoria Bagnall as she shares:

• Why capable pupils struggle to start and follow through
• How executive function challenges show up in the classroom
• Practical strategies that actually help

Revision can be hard for many students — especially when getting started, staying focused or managing the pressure feels overwhelming.
But not every student needs the same kind of support.

Some need structure and accountability to actually revise.Others need help understanding the subject content itself.

That’s why we’re offering two different types of revision support this Easter:

Option 1
Body Doubling Revision Sessions. Structure, supported spaces where students bring their own revision and stay focused with guidance from an executive function coach.

👉 Join our free webinar to learn how body doubling supports revision

Option 2:
One-to-one Executive Function–Aware Revision Tuition. Designed primarily for students with ADHD, dyslexia or other executive function challenges.

Using evidence-based strategies, we support neurodivergent students to understand content, prepare for exams and build confidence in their learning.

Revision for the neurodivergent brain is rarely simple.

It places pressure on multiple executive function skills at the same time:

• Getting started
• Staying focused
• Organising materials and timetables
• Monitoring progress
• Managing overwhelm

When these systems are stretched, procrastination isn’t laziness - it’s often executive function under strain.

Understanding this changes how we support students.

Free Parent and Student Webinar

In this free session we’ll explain a simple, research-informed strategy called body doubling, and why it can help students move from overwhelm to action.

If your child struggles to get started with revision, loses focus quickly, or becomes overwhelmed by exam pressure, this session is for you. Body doubling is a simple but powerful approach where students work alongside others in a structured, professionally facilitated environment. There is no tutor...

The CODE Education is a valued education partner of Connections in Mind.

They focus on what actually helps children learn and retain information.

If your child is revising by rereading notes, highlighting everything in sight and hoping it sticks, they’re not alone. But the research is clear: that’s not what works.

Evidence consistently shows that active retrieval, spaced practice and low-stakes testing significantly improve long-term retention. Students using retrieval questions achieve dramatically stronger results than those relying on passive revision.

As exam season approaches, understanding what genuinely works can reduce stress and build confidence, especially for children who struggle with focus, overwhelm or executive function challenges.

That’s why The CODE EDUCATION has written their latest evidence-informed blog:

Revision can feel overwhelming, for students and for parents trying to support them. With so much advice out there, it’s hard to know what actually helps and what simply adds to the stress.

We’ll also:

✔ Bust common revision myths
✔ Share what research tells us actually works
✔ Explore practical strategies for motivation, focus and overwhelm
✔ Talk about how parents can stay calm and supportive during revision

This session is supportive, evidence-based, and designed to help you leave feeling clearer, more confident, and better equipped to support your child.

Struggling with revision or know a young person who is?

During school breaks, many students sit down fully intending to revise… but just can’t get going or stay focused. That’s not laziness - it’s how the brain works under pressure.

📅 16–20 February (half term)�
⏰ Morning & afternoon sessions�
💻 Online, small groups, coach present throughout

If revision has been a battle, this could really help.
