Why primary schools are choosing Thrive
Since 1994, Thrive has been transforming the lives of children and young people in the UK and beyond.
Our robust, evidence-based approach strengthens resilience, boosts wellbeing and improves life chances. It’s the proven impact that really sets us apart.
Thrive Approach: Independent Evidence of Impact at Scale
ImpactEd Evaluation evidence from a large-scale comparative analysis of over 2,600 schools and a two-year mixed-methods evaluation highlights Thrive’s transformational impact.
Attendance & Engagement
3% lower overall absenteeism and
15% lower severe absenteeism. Up to 38% lower severe absence in schools using Thrive most consistently.
Behaviour & Exclusion
National analysis shows a 27% lower exclusion rate than average. Over the two-year evaluation period, exclusions fell by 52% in primary and 35% in secondary schools.
Pupil Wellbeing & Inclusion
Wellbeing meets or exceeds national averages, with particularly strong outcomes for pupils with SEND against a backdrop of wider national declines in pupil wellbeing.
Staff Wellbeing & Morale
Staff wellbeing sits above national workforce benchmarks, with improved morale and reduced emotional strain reported – particularly in intensive support roles.
Long-Term Public & System Value
Reductions in exclusions contribute to long-term public value and greater system sustainability, with an indicative £680,000 in avoided lifetime public costs per 1,000 pupils.

Thrive Licensed Practitioner training
From the year after a Licensed Practitioner qualifies, they’ll need to complete Thrive CPD each academic year and earn at least 10 Thrive CPD points.
Thrive-Online subscription
Your Thrive-Online subscription will renew each year unless cancelled in accordance with Thrive’s terms and conditions.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training is ideal for teachers, teaching assistants, SENCOs and pastoral staff who are well placed to lead SEMH support and provide targeted, one-to-one interventions.
It’s particularly well-suited to professionals with pastoral responsibilities, including safeguarding, special educational needs, SEMH education or a tutor role.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training is a 3-month programme which includes 12 online training sessions, e-learning activities and 2 e-mentoring sessions with a Thrive trainer.
The hands-on programme enables delegates to apply their learning from the start, empowering them to make an impact right away.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training is covered by Thrive's Wise Investment Guarantee. This means that if a Licensed Practitioner leaves a setting within 12 months of starting their course, we'll train another member of staff for free within 12 months of the original start date.
Thrive Licensed Practitioner training focuses on promoting pupils’ social and emotional wellbeing, which often aligns closely with the needs of pupils with SEND. Many children with SEND face challenges in managing emotions, building resilience, or navigating social interactions, and this course equips you with the tools and strategies to support these areas effectively.
However, the programme does not specifically cover areas such as SEND assessment, early identification of SEND, or targeted teaching strategies for specific needs like ASD, attachment and trauma, or dyslexia. While you’ll gain skills to foster an inclusive environment and address emotional barriers to learning, the training is not a dedicated SEND programme.
If your primary focus is SEND-specific support, you may need to explore additional qualifications tailored to those needs. That said, Licensed Practitioner training is an excellent choice for building expertise in helping all pupils, including those with SEND, thrive emotionally and socially.
