At Primrose Hill, there’s a deep commitment to nurturing the whole child. In recent years, we’ve seen a growing number of pupils with complex emotional needs, and Connect-Ed has become a vital part of our response.

Through a therapist on-site two days a week, children receive personalised, creative therapies that meet them where they are. This support is especially impactful for those experiencing trauma or bereavement, helping them feel seen, safe, and supported.

Whole school approach

The partnership extends beyond individual sessions. Connect-Ed train our staff in trauma-informed practice; work closely with the parents and help us embed a whole-school approach to mental health.

I’ve worked in education for over 30 years and with many outside agencies, and I can honestly say this has been one of the most positive experiences I’ve had. It’s a thoughtful, flexible offer… and I genuinely don’t know what we’d do without it.
