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.

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.
