About Us

Partners in Education U.K. Ltd. was set up in 1997 by Margaret Bevan and Valerie Hammond. We are both qualified and experienced teachers in the classroom and in the field of specific learning difficulties. We have both worked as Advisory teachers in Special Educational needs for a Local Authority and have hands on experience of Government policy and practice in this field.

We provide training for all those involved in education – teachers, teaching assistants, parents, lecturers, speech therapists, occupational therapists, physiotherapists and psychologists.

We run accredited courses from OCR, conferences and non-verified information courses under our own Company name. We can also tailor a course to a school or college’s specific needs.

We are both very practical people who love teaching and believe that it is important to provide, not only the theory, but the practical application of that theory. Many teachers say ‘I know he’s got problems but I don’t know how to help him – What do I actually do?’.

We hope we can answer this type of question for you.

To this end we have set up a resource base providing an onsite shop where you can browse around and purchase the latest materials.

We have also published materials ourselves. These materials have arisen from our own experience and understanding of the needs of specific children.

Over the last fifteen years many changes have occurred in Educational Policy and Practice and we have found it essential to keep up with these changes in order to deliver accurate information to the students on our courses.

We also have access to other professionals who we can call upon to provide specific areas of expertise e.g. optometrists, psychologists, physiotherapists and speech therapists and know that we have a large network of support.

Have a look through our website and see what there is for you. You may wish to attain a specialist teaching qualification, update your knowledge of assesssment, or just look for some useful resources. Whatever your needs – we hope we can meet them.
