Educational Psychologists work in schools with children, teachers and parents to try to help children and young people get the best out of their time at school. EPs use psychology to explore and understand all the different factors that might affect a pupil’s learning, behaviour and wellbeing, and to work out what will help each individual child.

Meetings occur regularly to talk about children and young people who may need my support.

Support for children at Clifton is offered in many different areas, including:

• Memory
• Learning
• Feelings
• Concentration
• Relationships
• Behaviour

When supporting a child at Clifton, the Educational Psychologist will:

• Spend time in your child’s class
• Talk and listen to you and your child.
• Talk to people who know your child well.
• Complete assessments according to your child’s needs.

Before working with any child at Clifton, the school always asks for permission from the parents.
