Schools work is one of the major areas of Eikon's work with young people, each of our Connexions Funded Youth workers are based full time in a school. This enables each worker to become a full part of the school's team and enables students to easily access our services.

As a trusted adult but non-school staff our workers have a unique position within schools and they are able to develop positive and productive relationship of support with young people.
Their role within school is provide pastoral support, mentoring and practical help for students. The outworking of this will vary with the need and make up of each individual school. It can include:

 One2one appointments
 Ongoing Mentoring
 Group works on a variety of relevant topics
 Support groups including those affected by caring for family members, divorce or bereavement
 Personal Development Residentials
 Outings and Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme
 School clubs
 Assemblies
