At Christ’s College, we use the Thrive Approach to support students’ social and emotional development.

Underpinned by neuroscience, attachment theory and child development research, Thrive helps staff to understand young people’s behaviour, build positive relationships and remove barriers to learning.

Our Thrive-trained staff assess students’ social and emotional skills and create action plans to support their needs.

By using Thrive, we help young people to:

• Feel safe and secure in school
• Recognise and manage their feelings
  Improve their emotional wellbeing
• Build their self-esteem and confidence to learnt to think before behaving a certain way

Schools that adopt the Thrive Approach also see calmer classrooms with fewer disruptions, improved attendance, reduced exclusions and better outcomes for young people.
