About the Training:

Secondary Essentials and Secondary Champions offer a clear, progressive pathway for secondary educators. Essentials lays the foundation - building your understanding of ADHD and neurodiversity in adolescence, while giving you practical classroom strategies you can use right away. Champions then takes you further, deepening your insight through a neuroscience and executive-function lens, and exploring advanced approaches to behaviour and learning. You’ll gain tools to influence consistent, compassionate practice across subjects and pastoral care, helping you create an environment where students with ADHD can truly thrive.

· Get a myth-busting, teen-relevant picture of ADHD including presentations and how traits often look different in secondary classrooms.

· Understand executive functioning in adolescence and the knock-on impact on organisation, homework, self-monitoring, emotional control and behaviour.

· Apply high-impact classroom strategies that boost access and engagement across subjects, not just in SEN spaces.

· Go deeper in Champions into dopamine, motivation, risk, self-esteem and mental health so staff respond to need not just surface behaviour.

· Strengthen whole-school consistency by reviewing behaviour systems and routines through an ADHD lens, replacing punitive loops with skill-building, restorative support.
