Primary School: Ages 4-11
”Myself and my governors have always felt that [Connect-Ed] is very powerful, it’s much needed and that it’s one area that we will always find the budget for.“
Pam Virdee, Headteacher, Longfield Primary School
At Longfield, we feel that there is a great need to ensure that we’re supporting our children in school. We’ve had 10 years of support from Connect-Ed with a therapist coming in one day a week and the impact has been phenomenal. They have one:one sessions that are tailored to each child and they work closely with the parents. The children have grown in confidence.
Longfield use Connect-Ed services to train their staff.
As well as using the therapy service we also have a whole school approach to mental health with Connect-Ed. Together with Teresa (the Service Manager) we look at what the needs of the school are each year and then plan accordingly. Connect-Ed train our staff and it has been highly valuable. The staff have got a really good understanding of what to look for with children’s mental health.
