FOR INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS

Bring Professional Coaching Into Your School

A face-to-face coaching service that sits within your school — supporting pupils, strengthening pastoral care, and costing you almost nothing.

Why Schools Partner With us

Tangible benefits for your school, your pupils, and the families you serve.

Pupil Wellbeing & Resilience

On-site coaching gives pupils a safe, confidential space to work through academic pressure, social challenges and emotional difficulties — helping them thrive, not just survive.

EHCP & SEND Support

Coaching supports pupils with EHCP's, complementing existing SEND provision and offering a proactive, forward-thinking alternative to therapy or counselling — focused on growth, potential and practical progress.

Stronger Pastoral Care

Having a dedicated coach on site strengthens your pastoral offering, demonstrating a genuine commitment to pupil mental health and personal development.

A Compelling Differentiator

Offering professional coaching sets your school apart — a powerful selling point for prospective families who want to know their child will be genuinely supported.

THE SERVICE

What Coaching Looks Like in Practice

Structured, evidence-based sessions designed to make a real difference.

One-to-One Sessions

Each pupil receives a dedicated 30-minute session, tailored to their individual needs. Sessions are solution-focused and use evidence-based positive psychology techniques.

Goal-Oriented Approach

Every coaching engagement starts with clear, pupil-led goals — whether academic confidence, managing exam anxiety, social skills, or personal growth.

Practical Tools & Strategies

Pupils leave each session with practical strategies they can apply immediately — from reframing unhelpful thinking to building daily resilience habits.

Regular Check-ins with Parents

With the pupil's consent, parents receive updates on progress and themes — keeping the whole support system aligned.

OUR MODEL

How the Partnership Works

A simple, low-friction model designed to deliver maximum impact with minimal admin.

Our coach spends a full day on site in a private therapy room, seeing pupils one-to-one.

All coaching fees are charged directly to parents — at no cost to the school.

Pupils receive consistent, professional support without leaving school grounds.

Initial referrals can come from pastoral staff, parents, or the pupils themselves.

Sessions take place during the school day, with the school coordinating timetables to ensure pupils don't regularly miss the same lessons — particularly those they find most challenging.

We pay a small fee to the school to cover use of facilities, lunch for the coach, and timetable coordination.

Eddie, Year 11, Buckinghamshire

“Coaching with Tamara really helped me get through my GCSEs and everything else that's been going on. It gave me space to talk about stuff without it turning into a big argument, and helped me figure out how to say what I actually think — especially with my parents. I've learned ways to handle stress better and understand my own mental health more.”

FAQ

Questions School Leaders Ask

How much does this cost the school?

Nothing. In fact, we pay the school a small fee to cover use of facilities, lunch for the coach, and timetable coordination. All coaching fees are billed directly to parents - with the exception of pupils with an eligible EHCP.

How is coaching different from counselling or therapy?

Coaching is forward-focused. Rather than exploring the past, it helps pupils identify goals, build strategies and develop skills for the future. It's proactive, empowering and strengths-based.

Is our coach qualified and DBS-checked?

Absolutely. All our coaches hold professional coaching qualifications, are a member of the European Mentoring & Coaching Council or International Coaching Federation (ICF), and have an enhanced DBS check. Full credentials are available on request.

How are pupils referred?

Referrals can come from pastoral staff, parents, or the pupil themselves, with parental support. We work with your team to ensure the process is smooth and appropriate.

What ages and year groups do you work with?

We work with pupils from Year 3 through to Sixth Form — tailoring our approach to each developmental stage.

Do you only work with independent schools and pupils?

No. While many of our school partnerships are with independent schools, we also work with state-maintained schools, academies and other educational institutions supporting young people up to age 21. Our coaching approach is effective across all school settings.

How do you handle safeguarding?

We follow your school's safeguarding policies and have our own robust safeguarding procedures, with all coaches required to undertake child safeguarding training. Any concerns are escalated immediately to the school's Designated Safeguarding Lead.

Can coaching support pupils with SEND or EHCPs?

Yes. Coaching is a valuable complement to existing SEND provision, helping pupils develop self-regulation, coping strategies and confidence. It can form part of the holistic support outlined in an EHCP and provides a forward-thinking alternative to traditional deficit-focused therapies.

How do we get started?

Simply get in touch via the form below or email. We'll arrange a conversation with your Head or pastoral lead, visit the school, and agree on how the service will run — all before the first session takes place.
