Educational Psychology Service

The school buys specialist Educational Psychology (EP) time.

EPs can work with parents in a number of ways to support their child’s and their own well-being:

  • Help to understand and process a diagnosis of SEN
  • Support to find home solutions for challenging behaviour

This work is always targeted at improving outcomes for children through supporting parenting.

Contact the PCT team if you feel your child needs support with their mental health.
