Neurodiversity Training, Consultancy & School Improvement
Helping schools create more neuro-inclusive environments where neurodiverse learners, staff and families can thrive.
At Project Resilience, we support schools, trusts and education organisations to better understand neurodiversity and translate that understanding into practical action.
Our work combines the latest understanding of Autism, ADHD and related neurodivergent profiles with evidence-informed approaches to wellbeing, communication, inclusion and school improvement.
Whether you are looking to develop staff confidence, improve relationships with families, reduce behaviour and attendance challenges, or create a more inclusive culture, we provide practical support that can be tailored to your setting.
Our packages
The Neuro-Inclusive Educators Programme supports schools to build a deeper understanding of neurodiversity and create learning environments where neurodiverse pupils feel understood, supported and able to thrive. Through a combination of live workshops, online learning and practical tools, staff explore 8 neurodivergent conditions, masking, regulation, executive functioning, attendance challenges and parent partnerships, while developing a more compassionate understanding of behaviour as communication and the impact of stress on learning.
Using an experiential approach, the programme helps staff apply new tools and strategies within their everyday roles. Supported by implementation resources, reflection activities and practical frameworks, the programme helps staff move beyond simply understanding neurodiversity to creating meaningful, sustainable changes that improve outcomes for pupils, families and the wider school community.
Our Leadership & Neurodiversity Consultancy supports school and trust leaders to develop more inclusive systems, policies and practices that enable neurodiverse pupils, staff and families to thrive.
Through a combination of audits, focus groups, consultancy and strategic planning, leaders gain a deeper understanding of the barriers affecting inclusion, attendance, wellbeing and parent-school relationships, alongside practical solutions to address them. The consultancy can be tailored to the unique priorities and challenges of individual schools, trusts and education organisations.
Using a collaborative and evidence-informed approach, the consultancy helps leaders turn insight into action. Supported by tailored recommendations, implementation tools and strategic guidance, schools are empowered to create sustainable change that improves outcomes across the whole school community.
Our Bespoke Training & Workshops provide schools and trusts with flexible professional development tailored to their specific needs, priorities and challenges. Drawing on expertise in neurodiversity, mental wellbeing, communication and inclusion, sessions can be designed around topics such as Autism, ADHD, PDA, masking, burnout, executive functioning, attendance, parent-school relationships, Empowered Conversations and staff wellbeing. Every programme is shaped around the unique context and goals of the organisation.
Using an engaging and experiential approach, participants are encouraged to reflect on current practice while developing practical strategies they can immediately apply within their roles. Every session is designed to be relevant, evidence-informed and rooted in the realities of everyday school life. Supported by practical tools, resources and implementation guidance, schools are empowered to create meaningful and sustainable improvements.

What clients & participants said
"Working with Project Resilience had been a breath of fresh air. The content was probing, thought provoking and very applicable. The delivery and facilitation was careful, engaging and with good heart. It was great spending time working through this high quality programme. I highly recommend this to other Executive Teams."
Nick Blackburn, CEO, Lingfield Education Trust
“The programme has challenged me to look at things from a different view and better prepare myself to work more effectively. I’ve realised taking time to stop, breathe and refresh is so important. I’m hoping that the programme will help me avoid that teacher burnout feeling we always feel by half term (or sometimes by Friday)! I’ve made changes to my lifestyle and I’ve certainly seen an impact. The biggest thing for me has been taking time to re-energise in order to be more productive. This is something I’ve not done in the past. I’ve typically worked continuously without breaking to re-energise and this has not always been productive. I’ve enjoyed finding out how there are such simple ways to do this. In addition to this, I’ve made a more conscious effort to make time for things I enjoy doing at weekends i.e. reading, colouring, walking. Now I’ve completed the programme, I can now see (and feel) the benefits of the activities that I have mentioned above.”
Catharine Harle, Primary School Senior Leader
“I felt the programme helped me reconnect with my own mental health during lockdown, which was a difficult time to be a leader in school. The programme made me think more deeply about the way I deal with concerns, issues, other people and staff, and how I land with people. It has had an impact on my lifestyle, as I now try to take more time to reflect, as well as making more time for myself.”
Ann Pringleton, Headteacher
“I enjoyed taking part in the programme and it’s encouraged me to be more mindful of my own mental health and wellbeing. I’m more mindful of my goals and feel I’ve a wider range of strategies to support me to achieve them. In addition, the programme has helped me be more aware of ways to support my own wellbeing; as a result I ensure I build time into my day to do this. Kathryn provided just the right balance of support and direction in each session.”
Primary School Senior Leader
“I’ve loved the sessions and it has made such a huge difference to me personally as well as professionally! I now take time to relax to re-energise , when normally I would have just cracked on with work! As for sleep, wow! As someone who has for many years functioned on between 3-6 hours a night except in the holidays, now when my brain wakes me up and starts over thinking, I use the technique and have zonked back off. It feels unbelievable! Being able to park things and prioritise better has made such as difference.”
Sue Richardson, Headteacher
“This programme has certainly been an interesting experience. I definitely feel I’ve a greater self awareness and can recognise stress triggers. The stress tools have helped with this, alongside trying to add in more frequent breaks like going for a walk at lunchtime. On a weekly basis I'm considering activities relating to balancing my energy, thinking about activities in these terms is helpful. Thank you for all your support throughout the programme, you've definitely given me lots of things to consider.”
Sally Purvis, Primary School Senior Leader
