Focusing Minds is a pivotal pastoral intervention at our academy. They provide a non-judgemental ear to many of our students posing behavioural challenges, repeatedly being suspended and who have mental health concerns. They are an asset to the team and constantly communicates with us around student concerns, strategies for the wider staff body to trial and uses our internal data systems to track student progress. They are fully committed to the students intervened with, not working in a silo as some other interventions we have trialled but understanding intervention only truly works when it complements the core pastoral and safeguarding strategy.
