Nurture and Thrive

As a small school, we pride ourselves in having a family feel to the school, where all staff will know your child by name. Our approach is bespoke and this is possible due our small numbers. We give what we need to each child at the right stage in order to support them socially and emotionally, which in term will help them academically. All of our staff are trained in restorative approaches to behaviour and we firmly believe that all behaviours are a message.  

Our school has a sensory room with specialist lighting, plus a range of tools such as spinning chairs, sensory tents, trampolines and other resources to support children. 

We also have a nurture classroom where interventions and Thrive is held. This is a welcoming space which is 'home from home', with sofas, a kitchen space, specialist books and other resources to calm children and provide a therapeutic space.  

We have nurture support in the school and offer Thrive interventions for children who need additional support. We use a Thrive tool to assess areas of need and plan interventions to support their needs. Thrive is delivered by Mrs Cleveland in school. Please come and speak to your child's class teacher if you would like any further information or you feel your child would benefit from additional support.
