Training sessions by Educational Psychologists

Overview

P4L educational psychologists are able to provide a wide range of training courses to individual schools, or groups of schools, including parenting courses.

Training is usually delivered on school site, although we are happy to arrange an alternative venue if required. Training can be offered in small, interactive groups, or as lectures to larger groups. Twilight and early morning training sessions can be accommodated. Training can be bought individually or as part of a block of Educational Psychologist time.

Training can be offered on a wide range of subjects (see below for examples).

To discuss any of the courses please contact us directly.

Thank you for yet another inspiring session. New teachers and teaching assistants were chatting in the staffroom and around school afterwards, about how inspiring it was. So not only a thank you from me, but also a huge thank you from all the staff.”
Louise, Senco at Sutton Courtenay CofE Primary School

“Rob’s training was in line with the key messages and strategies he recommended in his educational psychology reports on individuals, helping staff to see how these could be integrated into wider practice. Many of these became core themes through our behaviour, teaching and learning policies.”
Rachel,
Sutton Courtenay CofE Primary School

“I feel that the trainer handled various issues and concerns raised by parents in a very sensitive and careful manner, enabling the group to discuss what is often, a very emotive subject”

“It was hugely appreciated by parents;  thank you again”

“I had already undertaken quite a bit of research of anxiety in children and how to help them manage exams/difficult situations etc,  but this session gave me additional, practical advice that I found very useful that will be of benefit to both my children.

Counselling Skills Training for Educators

Congratulations to our group of secondary school staff who have just completed the Counselling Skills course.

The aim of this course is to improve awareness, knowledge, understanding and practice of counselling skills. To enable school staff to promote the positive mental health and resilience of children and young people and to respond appropriately to concerns about their mental health. This is achieved through the use of specific communication skills and strategies taught on the course.

The course has been designed and delivered by Educational Psychologists. There was 30 hours of taught input and activities, as well as well as 21 hours of homework tasks over the entirety of the course. Please contact us directly if you are interested in attending future courses,
