Send Teaching School

We are a partnership between West Hill and Linden Bridge Teaching Schools and work with an alliance of special schools and short-stay schools in Surrey, covering all phases and sectors of special educational needs. We provide a range of services to support SEND teaching and learning, including SEND specific school-to-school support and a wide range of SEND training and professional development opportunities for staff and school leaders.
