Sammy's Story: An intervention in practice
Sammy (name changed) was at risk of permanent exclusion. With targeted SEMH support he rebuilt trust, learned to manage emotions, and grew into a role model for his peers.
The impact? Fewer exclusions, improved attendance, and a stronger school culture.

Sammy's story shows that even when children face the toughest circumstances, change is possible with the right support. At Meridian High School, a whole-school commitment to SEMH, with Thrive embedded throughout, gave Sammy the safety, skills and encouragement he needed to rebuild trust and grow. The impact has reached far beyond one pupil, strengthening staff confidence, school culture, and outcomes for the wider community.
Mainstream secondary schools face a unique challenge when it comes to supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Larger classes, busy timetables and social pressures can make these years particularly tough for young people who may already face barriers to learning.
The SEND Code of Practice sets out clear statutory duties, but translating guidance into day-to-day classroom practice is rarely simple. Unmet needs don’t just affect learning - they often show up in attendance, engagement and behaviour.
Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs can sit alongside SEND, particularly where behaviour is concerned. Thrive’s SEMH intervention offers a targeted programme that helps schools address these underlying needs while meeting statutory SEND expectations.
