Building Emotional Health in Childhood

Are you keen to build positive relationships, create a sense of belonging and ensure every child in your setting feels safe, supported and ready to learn? Are you curious about your pupils’ behaviour and what it could be communicating? If yes, this is the course for you.

Tackling low attendance

Attendance continues to be a significant challenge for schools. Key drivers behind absenteeism include unmet social, emotional and mental health needs and pupils feeling unsafe or like they don’t belong. This course will equip you with practical strategies to support the wellbeing of all pupils, resulting in improved attendance, behaviour and attainment.

Thrive has given us strong, positive relationships with the children. It helped us to maintain these relationships throughout the pandemic, whether children were at school or at home. I can honestly say now that the relationship we have with them has never felt stronger because of Thrive."
