What OFSTED Say

"Time spent in the very attractive Th.Inc.Room... helps children to learn to control their emotions."

"Inclusion is a top priority and strategies to promote this are effective. For instance, the innovative Th.Inc.Room where children receive one-to-one to help with emotional difficulties, has helped to reduce the number of recurring exclusions."

"Pastoral care is good and a strength. The 'starlight room' does much to encourage pupils to modify their behaviour and to raise their self-esteem."

"The opportunities to reflect in the Magic Room foster pupils' spiritual development and have a positive effect on their behaviour and engagement with school."

OUR ABILITY TO experience emotions defines us as human beings. To reach our full potential we have to achieve a balance between being in touch with, and fully experiencing, our emotions while maintaining control over them. Many children and adults struggle to achieve and then to maintain this equilibrium. We see the consequences of this in our schools and communities. We have to find a balance between addressing the emotional needs of our pupils and delivering the curriculum. This equilibrium can be hard to establish and maintain.


Mission

eQe aims to enable schools to more effectively meet the emotional needs of the children and adults they work with and employ. eQe believes that the best people to do this are already in our schools. eQe achieves this through:

  • Enabling you to establish an equilibrium between addressing emotional needs and delivering the curriculum;
  • Training staff to use range of therapeutic approaches; Supervising staff working with vulnerable children and using therapeutic approaches;
  • Providing higher level therapeutic interventions with qualified specialists.
