Birmingham's Success Story
What People Say About Us
I had the pleasure of working with Alex while overseeing the special educational needs provision at a large secondary mainstream school on behalf of a multi-academy trust. Throughout this time, Alex demonstrated exceptional commitment and expertise in supporting pupils with diverse needs. She approached her work with a proactive mindset, consistently seeking solutions that improved outcomes for students while fostering a collaborative environment.
Alex worked effectively with a large and diverse staff team, engaging colleagues with clarity and empathy. She was always willing to listen and took the time to understand the perspectives of teachers, parents, and pupils alike. Her ability to balance the needs of multiple stakeholders while maintaining a solution-focused approach was invaluable in driving positive change across the school.
It was a genuine pleasure to work with Alex. Her positivity, professionalism, and dedication made her an asset to the school community. I have no doubt that her skills and attitude will continue to make a significant impact wherever she works next.

Alex Hough is a passionate advocate for young people with SEND. She is knowledgeable, experienced, tenacious and hard working. I worked with Alex when she was a SENCO in an inner city mainstream secondary school. In that role, she engaged positively with pupils, families, staff, other schools and a range of professionals and outside agencies to secure the best possible outcomes for young people with SEND. Alex is special through and through.
