"School says they're fine. Home is picking up the pieces."

"We've talked about it more than once. Nothing seems to change."

"The child is coping on paper. That isn't the same as thriving."
FAMILIES
When you know something isn't working but home and school aren't seeing the same picture.
Understand what is happening, prepare for school conversations and get personal strategy or child support when you need it.
When a child, familiy relationship or part of practice is getting stuck.
SCHOOLS
Focused strategy, staff development and practical implementation built around the problem your school is actually facing.
ORGANISATIONS
When the same challenge is appearing across more than one family, school or service.
Cluster programmes, annual partnerships and commissioned work that improves understanding, practice and the connections around children.
BOTH SIDES OF THE GATE
Braythorpe is shaped by experience on both sides of the gate.
13+ years in primary education and senior school leadership, and now life as an adoptive parent.
​
That means understanding the pressures schools work within without losing sight of what families see when the school day is over.
​
This is not advocacy against schools. It is practical work to help the adults around a child understand the same picture and act on it.
Where braythorpe works
What school sees is not always what home sees.
Behaviour tells us something, but it doesn't tell us everything.
​
Good intentions don't always create joined-up support.
​
Braythorpe works in that gap; helping the adults around a child understand each other, make sense of what the are seeing and decide what to do next.
understand the gap
Put the different evidence together and get clearer about what is happening.
