About Us
At Roots Education Limited, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow, develop, and feel truly understood.
With our experience in SEND, safeguarding and school leadership, we know how overwhelming the process can feel for families. Based in St Albans, Hertfordshire, we’re here to support you through each step - helping you understand what to expect, prepare for meetings, navigate the system and work through SEND plans and EHCPs so your child’s needs are clearly recognised and met.
We work closely with families and professionals to help create the right support around each child.
Because every child’s roots matter - and we’re here to help you nurture them.
