Osmani Primary School 2018/19
Well-being for children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties.
What problems were in your school and how did you identify them?
Staff identified children with significant social, emotional and Mental Health difficulties which could not be supported in a whole class setting.
What actions did you take?
Using our Pupil Premium, we funded a school based therapeutic service, SideBeside (One Up Foundation) which we integrated into our existing Pastoral Care team (Learning Mentor and SENCo). SideBeside is a school based therapeutic multi-disciplinary team, including Psychotherapists and Creative Arts Therapists, Occupational and Speech and Language therapists.
A school based Team Leader co-ordinates the multidisciplinary team and offers individual and group interventions, working closely with parents.
What were the outcomes?
The Pastoral care team are now able to provide timely and appropriate support to meet individual children’s specific needs.
SideBeside has become an integral part of Osmani School. Pupils are more aware of their emotional well-being and understand how to access the different levels of support.
