About ASEND

ASEND is a highly specialist SEND business, placing dedicated SEND professionals in school and services throughout the UK.

Pioneers across the sector, we have helped toinstitute a unique and fresh approach to the teaching and learning of SEND pupils, many of whom have seen remarkable progress.


In 2019 we were asked to support our first pupil at their home because the school felt they couldn't meet his needs any further and they stopped attending.

That pupil then successfully transitioned into a new school place and we were asked to support anotheryoung person.

Over the next three years we have supported children and young people across numerous London Boroughs, Local Authorities just outside London and various schools.

Many of whom made it into a new school or return to their school with the supportof our bespoke tutoring service.

We see ourselves as a SEND company rather than a recruitment agency. Meaning that we do more than just staffing for SEN education.

Our Directors all have a unique understanding of SEND and between them share a wealth of knowledge and experience unparalleledin the field.

Our team all have a passion for helping young people with SEN overcome barriers and progress.

Your experience with us and our young people will therefore feel very different to what you may normally expect as a result.
