Emma Dibden

After fifteen years as a primary teacher and intervention lead in UK and overseas settings, Emma completed a post graduate diploma in SEN and took on the role of Inclusion Manager at an international school in the UAE. Since then, her assessor qualifications and prior experience of using GL’s assessments led her to support multi-academy trusts and their schools as an Education Adviser at GL Assessment.

With a continued passion for issues related to special educational needs and vulnerable student groups, Emma volunteers with a local trust as Link Director for SEND and safeguarding with a determination for excellence and development for the pupils within their care.

Now as one of our Assessment Owners, Emma applies this same passion and her extensive experience as a teacher and SENCo to guide the evolution of our baseline and wellbeing assessments at GL Assessment. Through close relationships with a range of colleagues in schools and trusts, she provides training and guidance to help schools make evidence-informed decisions to support teaching and learning. Emma utilises the valuable context from her conversations with schools to help guide decisions about the maintenance and development of tests and reports.
