The Other Subject is a series of coaching programmes and workshops that help pupils and staff live happier, healthier and more productive lives.
Nearly all of our programmes/workshops can be delivered by school staff
trained by our team of specialists. This empowers schools to really take
charge and revolutionise wellbeing within their communities. We call it 'The Other Subject', because we believe that what we teach is as important as any other subject on the curriculum, especially given many of
the challenges that face our children in today’s world.
Contact us for a free
consultation to discuss the why The Other Subject works and how it will
boost overall performance, mental health and wellbeing in your school.
We train school staff to deliver a collection of ground-breaking coaching
programmes that help school pupils thrive physically, emotionally, mentally
and academically. Staff also derive a benefit personally and professionally
because our programmes have universal appeal.
We deliver practical, fun and experiential workshops directly to pupils, staff
and parents on a variety of topics impacting performance, mental health
and wellbeing in school communities. For schools that want to be more
independent, we also train staff to deliver these workshops.
Our team of specialists offer low-cost support services direct to schools and
parents on a range of performance, mental health and wellbeing issues. These services not only include
advice, coaching, mentoring and supervision, but also referral services
when specialist services are needed.
The Knowledge is a valuable bank of tips and tools for parents and staff on how to boost the performance, mental health and wellbeing amongst children and young people.
We are proudly affiliated with the leading coaching college in Europe, Noble Manhattan Coaching Ltd (NMC). NMC now offer a series of excellent higher level professional training courses in child, adolescent and school coaching. All individuals who complete a training package with us enjoy discounts with NMC, should they wish to carry on with one of these courses.
I couldn’t recommend this course enough – in fact in almost twenty years of teaching and
leading in schools, it has to be one of the best pastoral care trainings that I have done.
When I first heard about the course I was dubious about how and whether coaching would
work in an infant school. However, now that I have done the training I realise that this work is
essential early on to build the independence, resilience and regulation tools needed to thrive
in the world. Do it and do it fast as this simple curriculum of coaching programmes really does
have the power to revolutionise pastoral care and wellbeing in your school – no matter the age of your pupils. To read more about my experience of The Other Subject and the
impact it had on my school, click here.
Headmaster – Falcon Boys Pre-Prep
“An inspiring, insightful and highly relevant course that was so useful on both a professional and personal level. It was delivered in an open, reflective and supportive environment with
trainers who expertly guided the participants through a series of valuable coaching tools that could be used to explore many aspects of well-being with students. Just brilliant.”
Deputy Head - The Royal High Junior School, Bath
“I found the OS Course neatly packaged in a format that I would feel very comfortable using.
The structure of the sessions was empowering and the course booklet was extremely useful.
The OS trainers listened carefully to all the participants and there was a strong emphasis on
exploring the techniques being taught. Being immersed in coaching in this way and drawing upon the expertise in the room was invaluable. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.”
Head of KS1 - Maths - Kensington Prep School
“An exciting and innovative training course with a good balance of theory, discussion and practical activities. I left with an invaluable set of tools that I could use in order to support students who may have lost their sense of purpose and direction.”
Head of Year 11 - Wimbledon High School
“An empowering and insightful training course that will be useful in either one-to-one sessions with our students or teaching a year group how they can empower themselves by using coaching methodology. The course was well-structured with excellent resources and activities that can be easily used in a variety of situations. The OS trainers were highly experienced yet took time to consider how activities could be adapted to benefit all. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.”
Deputy Director of Sixth Form & Head of Psychology - Northwood College for Girls
“The training was both informative and stimulating. Lots of practical tools to give confidence
in delivery and guidance, and inspiring ideas to develop my own self- evaluating skills. The
interaction with others in the group and the secure and relaxed environment allowed me to
really engage with the coaching programmes and see how they could be very effectively used
in both a one-to-one or classroom situation. It was a very enjoyable course delivered by
knowledgeable and inspiring OS trainers.”
Head of DT - South Hampstead High School
“This course was absolutely brilliant, really original and I loved the way that all the learning
was experiential so that we could try out the coaching programmes for ourselves. So in addition
to learning tools to help support our pupils I also got a personal benefit from them. It also
helped us jump into the worlds of the students we teach, helping us build more empathy and
understanding of the type of issues they face in the modern world. A very valuable course
and would recommend it to all staff working in schools. We all need to do more to facilitate
wellbeing development and maturation alongside academic attainment and The Other
Subject is a great start.
