Social and Emotional Needs

A key approach to the school's support of our children and their families is THRIVE.
 
Through THRIVE we aim to support the social and emotional development of our children.  In particular the THRIVE approach helps us support children in a targeted way who may have struggled with difficult life events, so that they can re-engage with life and learning.
 
The school has two dedicated Teaching Assistants who co-ordinate our THRIVE work.  Children will either work 1:1 or in small groups.  All classes have whole-class THRIVE targets with look at improving social and emotional resilience.
