Kirsty Greenwood, SEN Advocate / Transitions Support Specialist / Parent Champion
T for Transition
Kirsty Greenwood is a dedicated advocate committed to improving the transition experience for children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) as they move from primary to secondary education. Recognising that many children on the SEN register lack an EHCP—and therefore often miss out on tailored support. Kirsty focuses on bridging this gap to ensure these students receive the assistance they need during this critical period.
Through collaboration with families, educators, and local schools Kirsty promotes early intervention strategies, enhanced communication between schools, and the implementation of person-centered planning tools such as one-page profiles and individualised support plans. By championing inclusive practices and advocating for systemic changes, Kirsty aims to create a more equitable educational landscape where every child with SEN can thrive during their transition to secondary school.
