Implementing a whole school approach involves identifying and addressing the needs of pupils, staff and the wider community and creating an environment that removes barriers to learning.
In line with Public Health England’s 8 principles of a whole school approach, Thrive provides expert training and an online tool that will empower you to not only promote mental health and wellbeing, but improve behaviour, attendance and attainment throughout your setting.

5 simple steps to a whole school approach
Who should lead a whole
school approach?
A whole school approach is most effective when it is championed and role modelled by the leadership team from the top down.
The Department for Education is encouraging schools and colleges to identify a Senior Mental Health Lead who is responsible for overseeing their setting’s whole school or college approach.
Thrive offers DfE quality-assured training for Senior Mental Health Leads which is fully funded for schools and colleges in England.
