Thrive from a primary school's perspective

"With trust you can achieve anything"

From permanent exclusions – to attendance well above the national average. Marpool Primary School is reaping the benefits of embedding Thrive as a whole-school approach.

Based in Exmouth in Devon, Marpool Primary School prides itself on ensuring every child has confidence in their own self-worth and an aspiration to achieve.

In this short video, Headteacher Rachel Pattison and her colleagues tell us how supporting the emotional wellbeing of their pupils has resulted in improved behaviour, attendance and performance.
