Empowering School Support Staff to Foster Inclusive Learning

While academic excellence is the goal, a pupil’s ability to learn depends on feeling safe, understood, and supported. At Ringway Training, we specialize in the "non-academic" side of education. We provide Teaching Assistants (TAs), Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), and lunchtime supervisors with the specialist soft skills needed to manage modern classroom challenges.

Established in 2010, we have spent over 15 years helping schools bridge the gap between teaching and wellbeing. Our training ensures that every member of your support team is an active asset in pupil safeguarding and neurodivergent inclusion.

Safeguarding & Inclusion in the Classroom

Teaching Assistants are often the first to notice subtle changes in a child’s behavior. Our training moves beyond basic theory to provide practical, classroom-based insights aligned with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).

Key Training Topics for Education Teams:

  • Neurodiversity & Learning Support: Practical strategies for supporting pupils with ADHD, Autism, and Dyslexia without disrupting the flow of the lesson.
  • Identifying Signs of Abuse & Neglect: Training specifically for support staff on how to spot "quiet" indicators of harm and how to follow school reporting pathways confidently.
  • De-escalation & Emotional Regulation: Helping TAs manage "meltdowns" and high-anxiety moments with compassion and calm, maintaining a safe environment for all pupils.
  • New for 2026: The Digital Playground & AI:
    As AI tools become part of school life, new safeguarding risks emerge. We help staff understand the impact of AI-generated content on bullying, body image, and peer-on-peer abuse.

Flexible Delivery for the School Calendar

We understand that school schedules are rigid. Our Live Remote Training is designed to be high-impact and low-friction, fitting seamlessly into your professional development plan.
