Behind the grade: Identifying and supporting hidden student needs
Thursday 4 December, 4pm (UK)
Webinar information
Every student is more than just their academic results. Behind every grade lies a unique combination of strengths, challenges and potential — some of which aren’t always visible in the classroom.
In this webinar, we’ll explore how adopting a holistic approach to student development can help you identify both strengths and hidden learning needs early, supporting every learner to thrive. We’ll look at how tools such as the Cambridge Wellbeing Check and CPSQ can work together to give you a fuller understanding of each student — from cognitive skills and communication abilities to wellbeing and personal attributes.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Use assessment data to gain a deeper, more rounded view of your learners
-
Spot early signs of additional or special educational needs (SEN) and plan timely support
-
Apply findings to personalise teaching and intervention
-
Create a classroom environment that nurtures wellbeing and resilience
By seeing the whole learner — not just their scores — you can make more informed decisions and help every student reach their full potential.
Who is this for?
This webinar is ideal for Senior Leaders, Principals, Vice Principals, School Leaders, Head Teachers, Deputy Heads, Heads of Department and Teachers.
If you’re unable to join us live for this webinar, please register and you will be sent the recording and a certificate of attendance shortly after the webinar.
We hope to see you there!
