What is the Thrive Approach?

At Northdown, we focus not only on education but on the emotional wellbeing and happiness of our children. The Thrive Approach is based on the latest research into brain development, child development theory and attachment theory. Our team of qualified Thrive practitioners deliver reparative sessions in one-to-one or small group settings after an initial screening of all children.

Children are provided with positive experiences tailored to them in a safe, secure setting to promote social and emotional development. The aim is to help children build positive relationships with adults and their peers and reinforce good mental health.

Our Thrive practitioners also lead on the implementation of Thrive sessions in every classroom which are bespoke to each class’s needs and promote the key social skills of communication and interaction.
