The Maidstone STLS Team work closely with the Tonbridge & Malling and Tunbridge Wells STLS Team to provide integrated training opportunities for schools within the ‘area’.  In doing so the service provides a comprehensive training programme which is jointly reviewed on a yearly basis according to the needs within the three districts.

• Individual school support for an identified pupil or groups of pupils
• Multi-agency working to support children and their families

Hit the Ground Running

We have devised a series of practical workshops, using a more personalised approach, for staff delivering SEN interventions to individuals or small groups of children/young people. Each session is designed to give you the skills and knowledge to deliver the intervention confidently and, where appropriate, the time, resources and materials you need, so you can “hit the ground running” with your intervention the very next day.
