Register your interest now

The therapeutic school award Includes the therapeutic teaching course but is for those schools who want accountability, guidance and support. It is for schools who want to create a robust plan for implementing change and who are committed to developing a therapeutic school culture and approach in their setting.

Embedding a whole school culture and ethos

The award takes you on a journey, starting with enrolling your team on the modules and it includes detailed support and resources for your senior leadership team, PHSE lessons and resources to teach the children, and ongoing guidance and support with a dedicated TPC support liaison. Enrolling on the award is for schools who are open minded and who are not afraid to question the norm, and who are ready to take their school staff on a journey of self-development.

If you are in any doubt believe me it’s fantastic! After only three weeks I could give you hundreds of examples of the amazing wonderful effect this is having on our children!

What is involved?

Everyone in school will complete our therapeutic teaching course modules throughout the year. These will act as pillars to help initiate change.

Alongside the course you will:
Embed therapeutic trauma informed responses and relationships with the children especially in relation to behaviour
Upskill the children through our PHSE lesson plans and happiness project sessions available on our support platform.
Introduce daily wellbeing practices into your school day to develop the children’s emotional intelligence and self-awareness
Adapt your behaviour policies/ approaches and environments to reflect the therapeutic approach throughout school
Gather evidence throughout your journey which will be submitted for review at the time of submission for the award.

We will support you throughout the process and will help you make a plan for your school, stay on track and be there to answer any questions

  • Evidence of continued therapeutic language/ behaviour policies and therapeutic environments and updates as to how this has been maintained or evolved

Buy the book

“This is a crucial book for everyone involved in education. Shahana Knight shares her expertise, centring mental health and wellbeing at the heart of the teaching profession and supports the reader, through taking a critical stance, to evaluate their own practice. This is a powerful read which brings new knowledge and understanding to trauma informed education and will certainly impact on the lives of many children in our schools.”

– Roger McDonald, Associate Professor, University of Greenwich
