The Thrive Approach

What does it take to develop healthy, happy, confident children who are ready and open to learning? Recent advances in neuroscience, attachment theory and child development have provided some of the answers to this question.

The Thrive Approach draws on insights from these fields to provide a powerful way of working with children and young people that supports optimal social and emotional development. In addition, the Approach can equip you to work in a targeted way with children and young people who may have struggled with difficult life events to help them re-engage with life and learning.

We are proud to be a school that is recognised for embracing the Thrive approach. Thrive is based on the latest neuroscience and attachment theories allowing us to create an individual intervention for each our children.

It helps us prepare children for life’s emotional ups and downs, teaching them the necessary life skills in order to thrive and learn! Thrive is an approach that everybody uses in school and is implemented into every lesson. We care for our children and want them to be happy, feel safe and thrive with their education.
