On our training day (18 December 2019) our keynote speaker was Dr Andrew Curran. We were delighted that Andrew joined us for the day taking time out of his very busy schedule. Andrew spoke to all of our staff in regard to the best possible chances of learning and what is required to establish such an environment. We were delighted to be joined by specialist teachers from around the county to participate in this superb training.

 

Dr Andrew Curran is a multi-talented singer/songwriter, author, presenter and paediatric neurologist working in a hospital in the UK. He specialises in all aspects of paediatric neurology but especially in autistic spectrum disorder, long term severe neurodisability, brain injury and migraine.

 

Andrew makes the complicated workings of the learning brain not simple but understandable. And he does it in such a way that everyone can use what they have learned to improve what goes on in school. Apart from his hospital and education work, Andrew has also been featured on TV, has been presenting nationally and internationally to audiences within education for many years and is the author of The Little Book of Big Stuff About the Brain.
