Company activities and impact

Fascination Coaching provides coaching, training, and practical support to pupils and their families who are experiencing difficulties engaging with education. Using an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) informed coaching model, we help pupils/families work towards developing psychological flexibility and the skills needed to reduce avoidant behaviours, overcome barriers to attendance, and move towards the values and activities that matter most to them. We also deliver coaching, training, and guidance to schools and school leaders to improve understanding of school avoidance and nonengagement. Our work supports educational professionals to respond more effectively to pupils who are struggling to attend, enabling earlier intervention, improved wellbeing, and more positive educational outcomes.

Consultation with stakeholders

During the Autumn Term of the 2024/25 academic year, consultations were held with school attendance teams, families, and pupils to review and refine the coaching services offered. Feedback led to an initial shift in focus towards coaching key school staff alongside families, and to exploring group-based approaches to improve cost-effectiveness and widen access. Unfortunately, the project’s core funding ceased in January 2025. Although further funding was anticipated from April 2025, this did not materialise due to budget constraints. Alternative funding options were explored without success. The CIC continued to self-fund support for a small number of vulnerable families until the end of the academic year, at which point it became clear that new funding was unlikely in the near future from this source. How did stakeholder consultations influence Fascination Coaching’s approach in 2024/25? Early stakeholder feedback (Autumn 2024) was positive and confirmed that the coaching was valued. Consultations highlighted the need for increased support for school staff, particularly a newly appointed Attendance Manager and Attendance Lead, resulting in a shift towards coaching both staff and families. This demonstrated responsiveness to the needs of the school community and financial constraints. What feedback was received regarding the effectiveness and sustainability of the programme? Schools reported that the coaching had a positive impact on both staff and families. However, they also identified the need for more group-based work to reduce costs and increase reach. The withdrawal of funding from a key school significantly affected the sustainability of the programme and future planning. What changes are being considered for future funding and delivery? The loss of major school-based funding in January 2025 prompted exploration of alternative models, including potential collaboration with the Local Authority and offering services directly to families rather than solely through schools. Budget pressures remained a key barrier to reinstating the project on a large scale during that year. Who were the main stakeholders consulted and what was the nature of these consultations? The primary stakeholders consulted included a funding school’s Attendance Manager, Attendance Lead, and a small number of families and pupils. Discussions focused on outcomes, sustainability, and the impact of the coaching on both staff practice and family engagement.
