I believe one of the best asset the education system can have for SEND students, are the SEND teachers, the teachers with dyslexia, autism, ADHD etc. They can help act as pathfinders for their students.

Now that BIO is submitted my A-level students are asking about other coding competitions for the year. Any suggestions? It feels like unless you make it through to the second round, they all dry up now until next year.
