My name is Sue O’Leary-Hall and I am the Founder and Academic Director of Thesan. I’m also a teacher, educational leader and, most importantly, a parent. I set Thesan up because I wanted to create a service which not only supports children through each important educational transition and pressure point, but also supports the system around children - their parents, teachers and colleagues in family-focused professions. The idea of of ‘joined-up support’ just makes sense.
There is limited support currently available to parents who might be grappling with the kind of difficult decisions which naturally arise during day-to-day life with a teenager...questions like ‘how much independence is too much?’ ‘Will computer games harm my child’s learning?’ ‘How can I support my child through the move from primary to secondary school? Or with exams? Or with peer pressure?’
After completing a Masters degree in Education, it became clear to me that there is a wealth of research out there about how children learn and develop, and about what kind of responses might be useful to each of these difficult decisions and more. However, only a tiny proportion of that research gets home to parents. So I want to change that.
As a former Director of Teaching & Learning, Head of English & Maths and Head of Sixth Form, I have first hand experience of both the academic and pastoral aspects of school life. In founding Thesan, I also wanted to ‘join up’ those aspects in the services we provide: children need secure emotional foundations from which to blossom as learners.
