External Training
More House School is the largest school in the country for pupils with special educational needs.
It is committed to improving access to its unique approach and benefits, for children, young people and educational professionals beyond the School gates. More House School has devised specialist training opportunities to support the professional development of teaching assistants, teachers, therapists, SENDCos, senior leadership teams and governors.

Conference Speaking and national SEND Training
The School currently delivers national SEND training for the Independent Schools Association (ISA), including the ISA's training for SENDCos and is also heavily involved in both the design and delivery of the National SEND Conference for the Independent schools’ sector, in association with the Independent Schools Council (ISC).
Words and their meanings provide an essential scaffold for understanding and expression in every subject. Yet teachers often assume that SEND pupils grasp these meanings when there are many holes in the wall, due to their slower development of vocabulary skills.
