Therapy
At Hopebright School, we provide a comprehensive therapeutic induction for every pupil, ensuring their social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH) needs are met from day one. This process is closely aligned with their Education, Health, and Care Plan (EHCP) and any additional learning requirements.
Our Approach
Each learner receives a comprehensive psychological assessment n collaboration with a qualified child psychotherapist. This process is highly collaborative, involving the child alongside parents & carers to develop a deep understanding of their emotional, social, & educational needs.
Following assessment, an individualised therapeutic plan is created, which may include:
- Targeted therapeutic interventions designed to support emotional wellbeing & academic progress.
- Regular review points to ensure support remains responsive to changing needs.
- A holistic model that fully integrates therapeutic input with educational provision.
Our Therapy Provision
Our therapeutic provision is fully embedded within the school day, ensuring that each learner receives consistent, personalised support as part of their everyday experience. Aligned with individual Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCPs), our interventions are carefully tailored to promote emotional wellbeing, development, & progress.
