Focusing Minds is delighted to continue its partnership with Trinity Academy St Edwards (TASE) for a fourth consecutive academic year.
The partnership has already had a positive impact on students across the school. Through our service, young people can access additional mental health, wellbeing and personal development support when they need it.
Importantly, the school has continued to increase its commitment to the service. Over the last 18 months, Trinity Academy St Edwards has doubled its use of Focusing Minds support. This reflects the value that the school places on the service and its impact on students.
Supporting student mental health and wellbeing
Focusing Minds provides flexible, individual support to students at Trinity Academy St Edwards. Each young person is different. Therefore, the support is shaped around their individual circumstances, needs and goals.
Sessions can focus on a wide range of areas. These include mental health, emotional wellbeing, confidence, behaviour, relationships and personal development. Support can also help students to manage challenges that may affect their engagement with education.
Our approach puts the young person at the centre of their support. As a result, students have an opportunity to talk openly about the issues that matter to them.
Together, we can then explore practical strategies and achievable goals. These can help students manage challenges, recognise progress and develop greater confidence.
A valued partnership with Trinity Academy St Edwards
The continued investment from Trinity Academy St Edwards is a strong endorsement of the Focusing Minds service.
Principal Mark Allen speaks highly of the support and its positive impact within the school. He also values the manner in which Andy works with students and develops positive relationships with young people.
Building trust is an important part of our work. For this reason, we aim to provide a safe, supportive and non-judgemental environment for every student.
This approach can help young people feel more comfortable discussing difficult experiences. In turn, students can develop strategies to manage challenges and make positive progress.
Growing support for students at TASE
The growth of the service is particularly encouraging for Focusing Minds.
In just 18 months, the school has doubled the amount of Focusing Minds support it accesses. Consequently, more students can benefit from additional one-to-one support.
The growth also demonstrates the strength of the partnership between Focusing Minds and Trinity Academy St Edwards. Most importantly, it shows the school’s continued commitment to supporting student mental health and wellbeing, above and beyond statutory requirements.
Continuing our work into the future
Focusing Minds is proud to be supporting Trinity Academy St Edwards for a fourth consecutive year.
We are delighted that the partnership will continue into the future. Furthermore, we look forward to building on the positive work already taking place within the school.
Our aim remains simple. We want to help young people develop the confidence, resilience and skills they need to make progress.
