Outreach Program
Through a joint initiative between The Essex Special School Education Trust (ESSET) and Essex County Council (ECC), an Outreach Program has been devised with the strategic aim of supporting professionals, and groups of schools, who are teaching and developing children and young people with a range of SEND needs.
We recognise that staff within the Mainstream Primary School Sector have a wide range of expertise and give their pupils the very best support that they can. Our aim is to help schools to consistently deliver this aim and ensure all staff working with pupils with SEND in mainstream settings feel confident to meet the needs of the pupils in their local school communities.
All four Quadrant Outreach Leads are seconded from special schools within Essex, with leadership experience.

“The support was excellent. Marie helped us so much. We cannot believe the impact the support has had on both our pupils and staff involved. A truly valuable resource which supports schools with the practical “how to…” not just theory based training.”
