In my own words:

"The more I did Thrive, the less outraged I'd be." 

From hiding under tables and refusing to write - to a “brilliant role model” and “happy at school”. In this 2-minute video, a year 5 pupil from Hagley Primary School joins Kerry Baggott, the SEN Lead for Social, Emotional and Mental Health, for a conversation about the impact of the Thrive Approach on his wellbeing and attainment – both in and out of the classroom.

Press play to discover: 

  • The powerful shift that’s taken place since Reception

  • Which activities have helped him to feel calm at school

  • Why Thrive has brought relief and resilience

  • How his writing ability has developed over time

  • What he’s set his sights on for next year
