Thrive from a headteacher's perspective

"Children can now embrace the challenge"

From struggles with behaviour and attendance – to children with a strong desire to be in school. Headteachers across the country are embedding the Thrive Approach and seeing the 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, Headteacher Tamara Gulliver tells us how supporting the emotional wellbeing of her pupils has resulted in the children embracing a more challenging curriculum.
