nasen Plus member 2025–26No school place required to get started. Routes in for families directly, and for Virtual Schools commissioning on a child's behalf.
Learning support that doesn't depend on a stable school placement — built around the child, wherever they currently are.
Tailored pacing and tools that work with a learner's needs, not against them — informed by deep SEND specialism.
Flexible, remote-capable support designed to keep learning going through disruption and transition.
Anne-Marie Kennedy has spent three decades teaching GCSE Maths and English, with deep specialism in SEND and child-centred pedagogy. She currently works in the Alternative Provision sector, supporting children and young people with a range of special educational needs who are out of mainstream education.
Backed by an active SLA with a SENAR department supporting Year 11 learners with interrupted learning, plus direct routes for Virtual Schools and families to commission support without going through a school place at all.
If you're a parent or carer with funding from your school or Local Authority, or a Virtual School exploring direct commissioning, this page is built to be shared as-is — clear eligibility, a named qualified teacher, current safeguarding documentation, and an existing live SLA as a reference point.
No obligation, no school place required to get started. We'll respond within one working day.
