We have worked with Dan for 6 years at ACS. In that time we have had a 100% success rate with our cohorts. Nobody he has worked with has been permanently excluded. The tailored approach he takes, the time he takes to get to understand the setting, and the systems within it are what I think makes a huge difference from others.
Dan’s unwavering support even throughout difficult times offering supervision to myself and my team as we navigate this uncertainty has been much appreciated. We will certainly be retaining his services so that we can continue to support our students in the best possible way
Candise Lazare – DHT Pastoral Alperton Community School
Daniel and Sport & Thought have been an integral part of our pastoral support system for over a decade. The bespoke and responsive nature of their provision has enabled us to adapt our behavioural and mental health support to suit the individual needs of our pupils both on the pitch, in the classroom, in small groups or one to one. This has had a dramatic positive impact on our exclusion rates and has changed the behavioural and emotional culture of our school community.
Together, we run a successful alternative provision used by schools across North London called PRP Space where the expertise of the Sport and Thought behaviour coaches nurtures and counsels pupils the most vulnerable pupils not just in our school but across our partner schools.
Mr Andrew Dunne – Deputy Headteacher Newman Catholic College
Dan has worked with our students for the past two years and his impact has been invaluable. He is able to give us such a unique perspective from a psychological and therapeutic point of view that means the support and intervention we offer to students is much more specialised and relevant, and his work has seen a number of our students make significant strides with their behaviour.
His inclusive ethos means every student is given an opportunity and we often use his council for difficult behaviour decisions and the best way to move forward with students. Dan works with all different types of students from different backgrounds and needs and is able to provide an appropriate level of support dependant on where that student is on their journey with us.
