Individual Support

Sometimes children need a more bespoke approach if their needs are acuter or if group therapies haven’t been effective. We can support children to cope with change and challenge at home. This may include being a young carer, coping with a family break up and extended families and witnessing violence.

Whatever the problem, however small, you may be experiencing challenges with getting your child to complete homework, going to bed on time or perhaps developing independence. Please do visit us and talk through your worries.

We also work with an educational psychologist who works closely with the school and families to identify difficulties early. Our Therapists are very well placed to support teachers and parents in breaking negative cycles of low progress and poor mental health through individual work with pupils.

If you would like to make an appointment, please contact Parul Begum, the school SENCo; Sian, the Head teacher; or Jo, the Deputy Head..

Impact of Therapy

Our therapists use Psychlops data to demonstrate the impact of their work.

The psychlops data measures effective size. ‘Effect size’ is a way of quantifying the size of the difference between two groups or, in the case of therapy, the change in a group following an intervention. It is easy to calculate, readily understood and can be applied to any measured outcome in Education. It is particularly valuable for quantifying the effectiveness of a particular intervention, relative to some comparison. It allows us to move beyond the simplistic, ‘Does it work or not?’ to the far more sophisticated, ‘How well does it work’. 
​
The Effect Size for therapeutic intervention is the standardised mean difference between
the pre-assessment and post assessment. It determined from the following calculation
known as ‘Cohen’s d’:
Effect Size = (Mean Pre Assessment Score – Mean Post Assessment Score) divided by the
Standard Deviation of the Mean Pre Assessment Score1
.
For the cohort at Blue Gate Fields, the Effect Size following therapeutic intervention is
2.314. This is above the threshold for a large effect2 and is considered to be a highly
effective intervention. It is similar to that identified in research studies3 where the Effect
Size of intervention was 1.07.
