A Night of Fun: The SENsible SENCO Quiz Night
Kicking off the festivities, the evening of February 13 featured the inaugural SENsible SENCO Quiz Night. This fun-filled event saw six teams of SENCOs competing for the coveted title of SENCO Team of the Year. The night was filled with laughter, camaraderie, and friendly competition, setting the perfect tone for the conference ahead.
Highlights of the quiz included a balloon modeling round, where teams showcased their creativity, and a challenging Widgit symbol round, testing participants’ knowledge of visual communication tools. Thanks to TTS, teams wrote their answers on vibrant neon boards, adding a lively touch to the proceedings. The ultimate prize, generously provided by Widgit, was a year’s subscription to their service, eagerly sought after by all participants.

Hear What SENCOs said
Amazing day with lots of practical advice to keep is motivated through these difficult times.
What a fabulous day! As an exhibitor, I loved being able to attend all the sessions as well as interacting with all the wonderful SENCOs. All in a great venue, with a warm welcome and good food too!
The whole day, from walking through the doors to sessions with guest speakers, stands of specialist support equipment, resources and networks, to lunch, to goody bags and even down to the earl grey! This is a wonderful supportive conference.
Enjoyed the three above – oh and the Thomas Session too – some helpful take aways – loved the book concept , saved taking tons of notes
It was fantastic! I took something away from every session which I will be able to directly use in my daily practice. The networking opportunity was great and it was impossible not to feed off the passion in the room. Thank you!
Thank you to Abigail, Gavin and all the guest speakers. The whole day was informative & affirming! Truly inspired.
