Outreach For Schools
Mental health. Wellbeing. Attendance. Neurodevelopmental assessment. Staff confidence. We work with schools to address the challenges that affect learning and the people who lead that work every day.
Schools are under increasing pressure to support pupils with complex emotional, mental health, educational and neurodevelopment needs often with limited time, resource and specialist capacity. Our school outreach services are built to sit alongside your existing provision, not replace it.
Our work is measured by outcomes, not activity. We want to see young people attending, engaging and thriving and your staff equipped to sustain that long after our involvement ends.
Give your team the skills to make a difference.
Our training programmes equip teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and pastoral leads with the knowledge to identify, understand and respond to the mental health, wellbeing and neurodevelopmental needs of the young people in their care.
We deliver:
- Mental health and wellbeing awareness for all staff
- Anxiety and self-harm risk indicator training
- SEND and emotional literacy frameworks for classroom practice
- Understanding ADHD and Autism in the classroom — practical strategies for everyday teaching
- Post-diagnosis support frameworks — helping staff understand what a diagnosis means and how to adjust their approach
- Safeguarding-linked mental health CPD
- Attendance and emotional distress — understanding the connection
Training is available as a one-off session, a structured CPD day, or as part of an ongoing development programme tailored to your school’s needs.
Direct, meaningful support at the right time.
When a young person is struggling, waiting is rarely the right answer. Our practitioners work directly with pupils one-to-one or in small groups, to provide structured, goal-focused support that addresses the root of the challenge.
Our intervention work includes:
- Baseline assessments — to understand where a young person is and what they need
- 6–12 week structured programmes — goal-focused, measurable and reviewed throughout
- One-off therapeutic sessions — for targeted, time-sensitive support
- Anxiety, low mood and emotional regulation work
- Self-esteem, resilience and coping strategies
- ADHD and Autism-informed therapeutic support — for young people who have a diagnosis, or are awaiting one
- Reintegration support for pupils returning from absence or exclusion
Every programme is designed around the individual — their needs, their pace and their goals.
Answers that open the right doors.
Many children and young people in schools have needs that go unrecognised or are misunderstood as behaviour, attitude or disengagement. Our ADHD and Autism assessments provide the clarity that young people, families and schools need to understand what is really happening and plan the right support.
Our assessment service includes:
- Comprehensive ADHD assessments — for children and young people where attention, impulsivity or hyperactivity is impacting their learning and wellbeing
- Autism assessments — recognising the breadth of presentation across gender, age and context
- School-based information gathering — working with your SENCO and class teachers as part of the process
- Clear, accessible reports — written for families, schools and professionals
- Recommendations for school-based adjustments and support
We understand the school context — which means our assessments are grounded in what is actually happening in the classroom, not just in a clinic.
Post-Diagnosis Support
A diagnosis is the beginning, not the end.
Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD or Autism should open a door to understanding, to the right support, to a different way forward. Too often, it does not. Families are left without guidance. Schools are left without a plan. Young people are left with a label and little else.
Our post-diagnosis support bridges that gap.
We offer:
- Young person support sessions — helping them understand their diagnosis, their strengths and their strategies
- Family sessions — equipping parents and carers with practical understanding and tools
- School support planning — working with your SENCO to translate the diagnosis into day-to-day adjustments
- Staff briefings — helping the whole team understand what the diagnosis means for a specific young person
- Ongoing structured programmes — where longer-term post-diagnosis support is needed
Build a culture that protects young people.
Our prevention work includes:
- Whole-school mental health and neurodiversity frameworks
- Early identification tools — including neurodevelopmental screening to flag pupils who may benefit from assessment
- Family engagement and support
- Group wellbeing programmes for at-risk cohorts
- Attendance and emotional barriers to learning — early intervention strategies
How we work
Designed to fit your school
We work with:
- Mainstream primary and secondary schools
- Alternative provision and PRUs
- SEND and specialist settings
- Multi-academy trusts — with programmes available across multiple schools
Whether you need support for one pupil, one team or the whole school — we can build a programme that fits.
How we work
Flexible. Tailored. Impactful.
We know no two organisations are the same, and no two young people face the same challenges. That is why everything we offer is designed around your context, your people and your goals.
• Individual or group — we work with young people, families and staff in whatever setting works best
• One-off sessions or structured programmes — from a single assessment to a 6–12 week goal-focused programme
• Baseline and neurodevelopmental assessments — understand where you are starting from before you plan the next step
• Post-diagnosis support — for the young person, their family and the professionals around them
• Bespoke to your journey — whether you are at the beginning of prevention, mid-way through a challenge, or planning for the future
