Meet Miss Holdsworth

Hello everyone, my name is Denni Holdsworth, and I am the Keyworker for looked after children at Bexhill Academy. What does my role include? I am the key adult in school for CLA students, carers and social workers. I lead PEP meetings, attend My Voice Matters meetings (if the young person would like me there), annual reviews for EHCP students and LAC reviews. I carry out learning walks to ensure my students are getting the right support in lessons. I mentor my students weekly and my door is always open if they need/want a chat.
