Becky Halkyard
Welcome to HOME! I'm Becky Halkyard, a dedicated educator with over a decade of experience in the field. My journey began in mainstream education, where I honed my skills and passion for teaching. However, my path took a distinctive turn when I found my calling in a specialist provision for autism, where I've dedicated nine fulfilling years. More recently, I have gained experience with more diverse needs, which has extended my knowledge and understanding even further. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of children, particularly those with communication and language differences. Every child, with their unique set of abilities and challenges, has contributed to my growth.
During my time in school settings, I led on writing, reading and phonics across the primary phase where I not only embraced the challenges but also discovered the immense joy that comes with making a positive impact on young minds. My expertise extends beyond the conventional, delving into the realm of sensory processing; I am also proud to be an accredited Lego therapist, utilizing innovative methods to engage and support my students.
Beyond the classroom, my personal life revolves around the simple joys of being outdoors and spending quality time with my family. It is this balance between professional commitment and personal fulfilment that fuels my drive to make a lasting difference in education.
My passion lies in advocating for and supporting children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). I firmly believe that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I am committed to providing the support they need to succeed. Through my work, I aspire to contribute to a more inclusive and empowering educational landscape.
Together, we strive to create a brighter future for every child, one enriched with understanding, compassion, and tailored support in education.
