Collaboration between Real Group and Whole School SEND secures a double win at the 2024 Teach Awards
We are delighted that the Universal SEND Services: Online SEND CPD Series which we work on in collaboration with Whole School SEND has won in both the CPD category and the SEND category at the 2024 Teach Primary Awards.
This exciting news comes as ‘Supporting reading and comprehension across the curriculum’, the final unit of the CPD programme launches, enabling education professionals to achieve a prestigious platinum certificate. The launch of the final unit marks a significant milestone. With over 18,000 courses accessed to date, participants have earned bronze, silver, and gold certificates, and now the coveted platinum certificate is within reach for those who complete all 20 units.
The judges commented:
“The whole-school SEND units offer a comprehensive library of interactive CPD modules using a range of learning materials. I loved the balance of research theory, succinct presentations, insights from teachers and leaders, and practical classroom tips.

“A wide range of free and easily accessible training courses covering a variety of SEND-related subjects. The courses are well put together and can be accessed by individuals, or used for group training. I liked the range of subjects offered and the flexibility of possible use. These are a really useful resource for training when budgets are stretched.”
– Sara Alston @seainclusion, Judge, SEND category
We are incredibly proud of everything we have achieved through the delivery of this project, alongside our long-term partners, Whole School SEND and remain committed to supporting education professionals throughout their professional development journey.
