I have spent 20+ years in education, primarily within Special Schools and I am passionate about developing staff in order to ensure the best possible provision for young people with SEND.
Having recently moved out of Headship, I am fully aware of the challenges facing school leaders on a daily basis.
My experience includes teaching Primary and Secondary aged pupils with PMLD, SLD, Autism Spectrum Conditions and a wide range of learning, social and communication difficulties. I am a qualified SENDCo with experience of leading Inclusion in large mainstream settings and at Trust level. I also completed my NPQH and have been a Headteacher in Special Schools that cater to diverse populations of students, aged 3-19 years.
My support for schools is always based on partnership working, a thorough understanding of school context alongside the current climate and a commitment to provide compassionate yet rigorous support and challenge.
I currently support schools in Hertfordshire and my services are available across Beds, Bucks, Cambs, Essex and parts of North London. Visit my Services page to find out how I can support you.
"Ruchi was highly professional and supportive in acting as the independent facilitator of our Headteacher appraisal process, managing the fact that it was a joint Headship and therefore needed a slightly different structure, very successfully.
Ruchi was measured, analytical and well informed about the Specialist sector, leading to carefully shaped and appropriate targets for our future development."
"Ruchi was highly supportive in undertaking work with us in school improvement.
Her observations and analysis of the areas for improvement were concise, meaningful and solution focused.
Ruchi 'keeps it simple' which has ensured that she is able to work with and support stakeholders at all levels. Her work with teachers has ensured accessibility and practical solutions which have supported instant impact seen in classrooms.
Ruchi goes 'over and above' and greatly invests in ensuring that pupils get the best deal possible."
