​Our Psychology in Schools service offers the following:

• Assessment appointments and liaison with local services: Students whom staff have significant mental health concerns are assessed with their parents in order to establish the nature and extent of the difficulties and consider whether a school based intervention is appropriate or if the student needs to be referred for specialist input from local services.
• PSHE/Curriculum Development: The clinicians support the development of each school’s PSHE curriculum to enable a whole school approach to learning about emotional wellbeing and mental health,
• Leadership: The leadership team are involved with the development and implementation of the program,
• Parents/Carers: Parents are involved through workshops on the key areas of concern. Parents experience ease of accessibility to specialist support when being able to meet with a clinician at school if their child has been identified as having a difficulty,
• Primary Schools: Creating clusters of feeder primary schools to take part in half-termly 2-hour training slots for their Teaching Assistants. The training program has been developed and successfully implemented by Dr Mosley with good outcomes and extremely positive feedback.

​Referral through the child's school that they are based at.

We are currently based at: Thurston Community College, Newmarket Academy, Mildenhall College Academy, Castle Manor.

This service is available from ​9am to 5pm from Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays.

​We work closely with the schools that we work in, which means we will endeavor a joined up approach with the support of the school pastoral team.

We would normally complete an initial assessment to assess the student's needs. We would then recommend the relevant support going forward. This support may need a referral onto other services which we can support.
