Last week, we were delighted to welcome Anna Willis OT from Active Play Therapies to our termly SENCo network meeting.

Anna gave a fascinating insight into her work as an OT, our 8 (yes, 8!) senses and the impact that sensory differences can have on children (and how that may present in school).

Anna talked the group through some sensory strategies and emotional regulation ideas to support sensory differences and dysregulation in the classroom.

She also introduced us to ‘Calm Club’, an program designed by Anna to support parents who may be feeling overwhelmed or exhausted by their child’s meltdowns or dysregulation.
The programme helps parents create a calmer and more connected home life via bespoke support from Anna. Follow the link below for further details! 👇

Everyone agreed it was an invaluable session and we look forward to welcoming Anna back in the spring for further training! 🤩

At Clear View Education we are already looking ahead to 2026 and are delighted that in January we’ll be welcome a specialist maths tutor to our team, Angele Whybrow! 🤩

Hi, I’m Angèle 👋

I’m very excited to be joining Clear View as a specialist tutor of maths.
I have been in teaching for the last 25 years and have worked in preschool, primary, EAL, SEN and both independent and state sectors.
For the last 14 years I have predominantly worked as a 1-1 specialist teacher providing maths support to students with SpLD across ages from 12 to 17.
I have always had a love of maths and a keen enthusiasm for helping students to overcome their anxiety with the subject and to build their confidence and enjoyment of it!

👀I will be based at the Wimborne hub on Wednesday mornings and Thursday afternoons offering tuition to pupils from Yr 7 and above including Functional Skills, GCSE and A Level. I will also be offering sessions from a satellite hub in North Dorset.👀

Some fun facts about me:

⭐️ I actually like doing maths in my spare time! ➕🟰➗➖
⭐️I enjoy running with friends, especially in forests in the Autumn.🏃🏻‍♀️
⭐️ I’m obsessed with pigs – I used to have 2 piglets as pets, they were adorable, and it was great to see them grow tusks! 🐖🐖
⭐️ I love getting together with my (now grown up) children to catch up with their lives and have lovely long lunches.👫
⭐️ I also really enjoy live music and music festivals 🎏 Roll on the summer!🌞

If you are interested in your child having sessions with Angele, please contact us 👇

Thank-you, Polly! We are delighted that Annette has joined us at Clear View Education 😍.

Supporting a pupil over a number of years is a real privilege. Together you build a relationship based on honesty, acceptance and trust that allows a child to be authentically themselves in your sessions. Understanding a pupil’s strengths and challenges, not just academically, but socially and emotionally is at the cornerstone of what we do Clear View Education.

We offer an holistic, ‘arms around’ approach with our students and their families. We have a great network of professionals we work with, so are able to sign post parents according to the specific needs of their child.

Annette is offering sessions both in our Wimborne hub and from her satellite base in North Dorset.

⭐️Please get in touch if you feel you need support on your SEN journey. The initial call is FREE!⭐️

A warm welcome to a new member of the Clear View team - specialist tutor, Annette Fisher! 🤩

Over to Annette to introduce herself -

Hi, I’m Annette and I’m delighted to be joining Clear View Education as a specialist tutor.
I love teaching and have been lucky enough to be a teacher for over 30 years in both the state and independent sector🤩.

Having started as a primary school teacher, 13 years ago I undertook a post graduate qualification to become an SpLD teacher. I now teach a broad age range of pupils from 5 to 16 years.

I enjoy getting to know each individual pupil and get a real buzz seeing their ‘Eureka’ moment when they ‘get’ something they have previously found challenging! 💡

I will be tutoring at the Wimborne hub one day a week, the rest of the time at my satellite Clear View hub in North Dorset.

Hello! Welcome to Clear View Education!

As we slip into a new school year, I thought this would be a good time to reintroduce myself! 😍

I’m Anna, owner and director of Clear View.

Following a postgraduate qualification in SpLD, I have spent the last 15 years teaching and supporting children who face barriers to their learning, whether that is, for example, Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Autism, PDA, ODD or CDC.

2024 was the year I decided to step away from teaching in school and set up my own SEN consultancy business in Wimborne. The aim of Clear View Education is to offer tailored, highly structured SEN support (whether that is academically, emotionally or socially) for children and their families in the local area.

Some fun facts about me! 👀

• My two favourite family events are Christmas and
Eurovision 🎄🪩
• ABBA forever! 💃
• Best comfort food? A fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, Elvis-style 🤌🏻.
• I have been a Star Wars fan since I was 7 years old ✨
• Favourite quote “Everything will be alright in the end. And if it’s not alright, it’s not the end.” 🤩

A really useful infographic from Made By Dyslexia explaining the ‘Spiky Profile’ we can see with Dyslexic learners.

These children are often achieving way above their peers in some areas, yet are underachieving in others.

Unfortunately, Dyslexic learners face their biggest challenges in the areas by which schools measure intelligence - speed of reading, writing and spelling and the ability to learn by rote.

quotes the following statistics:

🎈71% of dyslexics are great at communicating (verbal reasoning) - but 89% are poor spellers (working memory)
🎈8 out of 10 dyslexics are above average at lateral thinking (questioning), but 9 in 10 struggle getting thoughts on paper (organisation).

Clear View Education, we love supporting our Dyslexic learners - celebrating their strengths and helping them successfully navigate their challenges. We use a tailored, multi-sensory approach to enable our pupils to realise their potential.

Want to know more about how we can support your Dyslexic child? 🤔
