Thrive from a child's perspective

"Before Thrive I completely hated school"

From hating school – to loving learning, taking part in activities and helping others. Children and young people across the country are benefiting from the Thrive Approach and difference it makes.

Part of St Mary’s Academy Trust, The Mill Academy is based in the South Yorkshire village of Worsbrough and prides itself on delivering educational excellence in order that each child thrives within its safe and nurturing environment.

In this short video, a pupil at the school tells us how Thrive has helped him engage in learning.
