About Thrive

Our mission is to help children and young people engage with life and learning. 

Our whole-school approach is proven to improve attendance, behaviour and attainment.  It is based on child development, neuroscience and attachment research, and consists of:

 

 

1. Thrive-OnlineTM (TOL) - our web-based profiling, action-planning and progress monitoring tool enabling you to ensure the best outcome for each child or group.

2. Training - including our flagship Thrive Licensed Practitioner course. This is for those working with children and young people, teaching them how to identify issues and address behaviour in a child-centric manner across different age groups. It also helps leaders implement a comprehensive approach in schools and settings that leads to improved outcomes and cost reduction in the system.

3. Ongoing access to resources, support, updated training and our network of practitioners.

For over 26 years, we have worked across the UK and overseas, with central and local government, school groups and Trusts, individual schools and settings. We have trained more than 50,000 people.  Over 627,000 children and young people are currently in settings benefitting from the Thrive Approach.
