Erica Smith – ED Tech Demonstrator Schools Lead – Highfurlong School, Blackpool


The training outcome that I achieved from attending the Scanning Pens Demo Schools training program was creating a video presentation that our Learning Support Centre now uses to explain our offer of support for learners with SpLD and Dyslexia


Karen Bates - Oldham 6th Form College


The programme was beyond our expectations. We felt supported by the up-to-date expert advice, but also hearing about good practice in other schools was extremely helpful in improving our policy.


The Green School


The purpose of each workshop was explained well. Concepts were presented in a clear and easy to understand way. Presentations, explanations, and demonstrations were very helpful.


Albany Academy


Scanning Pens training has enabled better independence for our individuals with significant SEND.


Knebworth Primary School
