Welcome to Direct Services to Schools
We value the relationship we have with our schools and this long-standing partnership has enabled us to expand on our excellent and local understanding of school priorities.
We are committed to continuous improvement and always strive to make changes for the better. It is, therefore, great to receive feedback from both staff and young people to highlight how beneficial you find our services:
"The support offered was really valuable and the impact measurable. Many students were able to receive early intervention, improving well-being and self-esteem, which inevitably will improve attainment."

"Supporting me to my abilities, helping me understand what I am doing and helping me work to my best abilities makes me believe I can do it if I want to, and always want to succeed."
