SCHOOLS AND ACADEMIES

Schools and Academies

 

I have over 20 years experience working in both Primary and Secondary School settings. I have worked with pupils, teachers and Senior Leadership Teams in a variety of roles including sports coaching, teacher training, mentoring and consultancy.

 

Whole School and Academy Model

​

Through Heart and Head I offer a comprehensive range of services to schools including a complete physical and psychological wellbeing package that provides a comprehensive model of improving and maintaining all aspects of health related behaviours for pupils, staff and the wider school community. This model is suitable for Academies to adopt and offers continuity in provision between Primary and Secondary settings.

 

Support for Individual Pupils

​

Where necessary I can support individual pupils with their wellbeing needs and help them to overcome difficulties they may be facing in the school environment. I have a unique way of working that promotes transparency between the individual, home and school, in order to identify and provide the changes and support mechanisms needed for them to be happier and healthier. 

 

Consultancy and Supervision for Pastoral and Safeguarding Leaders

​

I have significant experience working with schools to develop Pastoral and Safeguarding Policies and Procedures. These are not only focused upon statutory requirements, but also developing and fostering inclusive ways of working to aid pupils' emotional and social development. As well as providing consultancy for policy development I also provide professional supervision as a support mechanism for staff undertaking these roles who value a safe space to be able to talk through their work and any difficulties they may be facing.

 

Staff Training

​

I offer standalone staff training sessions for both inset days and twilight sessions to cover a range of common themes in promoting both physical and psychological health. These include, but are not restricted to, looking at health from a developmental perspective, neurodiversity, motivation, alternative approaches to traditional behaviour management strategies and understanding changes in the brain during adolescence.
