The Thrive Approach®

The Thrive Approach has evolved over the

last 25 years, providing those who work with

children and young people with the

knowledge, skills and tools to optimise

social and emotional development.

Thrive is committed to supporting and

encouraging the development of confident,

curious, creative and capable children

and young people who are open

to learning and better equipped

to deal with life’s ups and downs.

Building positive relationships

The connections children and young

people have with the adults

around them is key.

Repetition of positive experiences

developed through Thrive activities

supports their development,

helping them to:

• feel good about themselves and know that they matter
• increase their sense of security and trust
• increase their emotional wellbeing
• improve their capacity to be creative and curious
• increase their self-esteem and confidence to learn
• learn to recognise and regulate their feelings
• learn to think before behaving in a certain way

How does it work?

Appropriate for all children from birth to

adulthood, the Thrive Approach draws on

the latest research into brain science,

child development theory

and attachment theory.

It helps us to understand how the brain

develops, and how parents, teachers

 and other professionals can best support

this development by providing the best

experiences for the children at each stage.

What difference does Thrive make?

Schools that have adopted the Thrive

Approach have reported many benefits.

These include calmer children,

less disruptions in class, improved

attendance, reduced exclusions

and higher achievements.

The knock-on effect of this can be better

parent-school relationships

and improved staff morale.

You can read about these on the Thrive

website:  mythrive.uk/ case_studies.

How will my child be involved in Thrive?

We use a screening and monitoring tool called Thrive-Online® which identifies the developmental needs of individuals or groups and suggests actions plans to meet these needs so that children and young people can move forward

and fulfil their potential.

Some children will be involved in

one-to-one sessions

or small group Thrive activities. 

All children will experience

weekly thrive sessions,

led by their class teacher.

They will work on the areas of need identified through the completion of the action plan and will have chance to learn self-regulation and relaxation techniques.
