Thrive school triumphs at 2018 nasen Awards

We are delighted to reveal that one of our Thrive schools, Fiveways School, has won the Excellent Practice in Special School award at this year's nasen ceremony.

The nasen Awards, hosted by the Waldorf Hilton Hotel in London, proudly celebrated those who go above and beyond to make a difference for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

One school that truly reflects these values is Fiveways School in Yeovil. Shortlisted with three other schools, they were extremely proud to succeed in their category due to their outstanding outreach work and inclusion programme.

As one of our Thrive settings, we're so pleased to see that our Approach enables every child at Fiveways to have their needs met.

The Head Teacher of Fiveways School, Mark Collis, has said,
