Ethos Team – Who we are

​​

Ethos Lead- Mrs Helen Akhyani

Working days- Monday to Friday

As the Ethos Leader, I lead the work of the Ethos Team in Leasowes to embed a whole school approach that includes curriculum contributions, lessons, drop-down days, intervention groups, enrichment activities, workshops, assemblies & special events. This contributes towards the schools’ OFSTED outcomes, particularly the Personal Development and Behaviour & Attitudes judgements.

Ethos Family Support Worker- Mrs Holly Mansell

Working days- Monday to Friday

As the Family Support worker, I am here to support families. My work is student-centred and led by the needs of each family. I help students who are experiencing difficulties in school or at home which can have a long-term impact by improving attendance, behaviour, self-esteem, and confidence whilst helping overcoming obstacles to learning, and raising aspirations.

I support families with parental support, practical solutions for families, education and attendance support, budget coaching and benefits advice, safeguarding referrals, and health, wellbeing and emotional support.

​

Ethos Youth Worker- Mrs Natalie Summers

Working days- Wednesday to Friday

As the youth worker, I support students with interventions for tackling low self-esteem, anxiety, anger, resilience, loss, and behaviour difficulties. I also run lunch club, drop-ins, lessons, assemblies, special events and activities and emotional wellbeing support.

My aim is to help students to grow in every area of their education and lives, enabling them to reach their full potential. Onsite our Ethos Rooms provide a safe space for students to engage with our team, which supports safeguarding needs.

If you need support from the Ethos Team, please contact us through the school number.
