Thrive

Thrive is the soil that underpins everything we do to support our children and young people. It is a specific way of working that helps children and young people to develop their social and emotional wellbeing, enabling them to engage with life and learning. It supports them in becoming more self-assured, capable and adaptable. It can also address some troubled or troubling behaviours.

Guiding principles of Thrive

• Every Child is a unique person, constantly developing and learning in different ways and at different rates, each with their own abilities, talents and potential to be fulfilled
• Children’s healthy development, emotional wellbeing and learning are crucially dependent on, and promoted through, positive relationships.
• Children flourish when they are confident, self assured, capable and resilient.
• Children thrive in enabling environments where their individual development, learning experiences and needs are understood, responded to and supported through strong partnerships with parents and carers

By using Thrive we

• Develop a holistic approach to support children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
• Provide early identification and effective support for children who are experiencing emotional, social or behavioural difficulties.
• Provide an environment for children to safely express and explore strong feelings which are creating barriers to learning.
• Develop supportive relationships between peers, and between children and adults in school.
• Support children to regulate and self soothe leading to resilience, academic progress and positive relationships.
• Provide children with strong foundations that will carry them through into adulthood
