About me 

Hello, I’m Louise, the founder of Insightful Beginnings. I have dedicated my career to child development and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

After qualifying as a teacher in 2008, my passion for SEND grew while leading in the early years of a primary school. This journey led me to become an Advisory Teacher for Vision Impairments (QTVI), where I gained deep insight into supporting children with a wide range of additional needs.

I have since held senior leadership roles across mainstream and special schools, including Quality of Education LeadSafeguarding Lead, and Inclusion Lead. My work has spanned curriculum designassessment systems, and strategic improvements for schools supporting pupils with SEND.

In 2024, I founded Insightful Beginnings, through which I provide consultancy and training for schools, local authorities, and families. My work includes:

  • Supporting schools and LAs to strengthen SEND provision
  • Leading Ofsted preparation and school improvement journeys
  • Establishing specialist provisions in mainstream settings
  • Delivering staff trainingparent workshops, and individual pupil assessments
  • Offering family support and guidance with compassion and understanding

I am passionate about ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive, and I take pride in working collaboratively with schools, families, and professionals to achieve the very best outcomes.

If you’d like to explore how I can support you, please get in touch for a complimentary consultation.

Thank you for visiting,
Louise
