Katey Breen

Head of SEND

Katey is an experienced SEND professional who has worked in education for 12 years. She was a Special Educational Needs Coordinator for ten years before joining Lydiate Learning Trust.

Katey explains: ”I have worked predominately in schools within an inner-city context, featuring all the challenges that face families living in certain postcodes. Most recently, I was an Inclusion Manager covering Pastoral, SEND and Safeguarding needs of a busy two-form entry Primary School. I have always enjoyed supporting pupils, families and the wider communities with challenges that are perceived as being outside the ‘norm’ for school staff to help with.

My role at Lydiate Learning Trust, as Inclusion and Safeguarding Lead, is to further the work of the staff in the four schools and support their busy departments. I work closely with the Trust Executive Team, who are responsible for these areas, as well as School Leaders. Part of my role is to advise and help develop the good practice that exists already, within each of our schools in Sefton and Liverpool.”
